Corrected for you.

Ok, picked her up now - Haven't really done much riding - just to work and back. Feels very different to my R6, but given the 6 month gap it's hard to make a comparison. Things I have noticed though - The underseat pipes toast your @rse! Feels a lot bigger than my R6 and the riding position feels a little more focused. The engine note sounds great and unusual - can't wait to get my Micron race can on there! Looking forward to getting her on track as that is probably where I can make the best comparison and really get the supercorsas working

Yep - I do VFX, hence the move to NZ and Weta. Currently working on this:

Nice bike! Used to film/TV work but got fed up of it, did some work on Harry Potter and Indy stuff, better off in the new job yet to decided!

It was most welcome today I can tell you.

When I got home I was fiddling about under the can cos I thought I heard a rattling and thought something was loose (it wasn't), but in doing so I accidentally touched the can - oh sun moon and stars it was hot, and my left pinkie finger now has a humungous burn

got a fair bit of weight to it to, nice bike Luke, Totally irrelevant to me though as it?s far to small to ride with any comfort at all, I do like the gunmetal grey colour scheme though, that'd be my choice if I were to have one.

Cheers Mark.

I still have a scar on my forearm from when i leaned over my bike to fiddle with something after a ride. Touched the can for a second and it hurt like hell for ages.

Great choice M8 one of the best looking bikes on the market and british to boot, all the reviews give it top marks why buy jap crap if you dont have to, thats what i say.
