We went to the Roo last night, her first ride. But sadly 'Ol Fourwheels' Stretchie is a fair weather driver, it peed it down.

Oddly enough, the seat is lower than on my SV (the fond memories come flooding back *sniff* ) and you'd be able to touch the floor with both feet at the same time, believe it or not it's also lighter than the SV (dry) which means you have to be a tad more careful with the twisty thing.
Dont what ever you do show it to stretchie.. really bad idea he might jinx it

so Beenz was that a yes then????? go on you know you want to give me the keys

1st gear on my old thou was geared about the same as third or fourth on the sv - that's why you have to slip the clutch a bit. A gixxer thou has sh*t loads more torque than the sv anywhere in the rev range. In fact it's got damn near as much as something like a mille.
Very nice motor you got there

Mmmmmm, very nice. I'd do anything (within reason) for a GSXR.

I'm as shocked as anyone (or should that be everyone?) to hear that Stretchie!
