Default The CBR

Well picked her up yesterday morning/lunch, rode back and thought erm yer ok this is alright, also forgot that there is no fuel warning light on older bikes S'ok i had a reserve Got out on her to go to mine last night from the missus's and whoosh, wow this can go, now gettin used to it too doesnt really go over 90 but o well neh bother...Thanks to spanner man for sorting it out, he really is a top bloke

There is a tiny little power surge from 8-10 revs that i have found and enjoy lol.

Looks very tidy for it's age! What is restricting a V-twin like compared to restricting an IL4? Does it remove the upper powerband of the latter?
