A few days later I chased a really quick Civic down the road and kicked it from 1st to 2nd which caused the front to rise and it stayed there for about 30 metres  Trouble was I just couldn't get it to go round corners, and when I did, it would snake all over the place as I hit the gas comming out... That was a bit scary... Learnt to respect that animal pretty quickly...
I've ridden my mates 'Busa a few times, indicated 180 on the speedo (not in the UK) and the bike is so stable..... Blackbird was so easy to ride fast it seemed ridiculous, just so clinical in everything that it did.
I'd go for the Falco being my scariest ride, but I'd like to try both a TLS and a TLR...

Have agree with Jelster scariest bike was the Falco, after 5 years on an SV, picked the bike up from Stafford, riding back to Bolton, decided to prove a point to an M3 driver. Snatched the throttle at 75 in 3rd, revs rose, exhaust bellowed, front went vertical, I slipped back down seat, accelerated to 130 mph in the blink of an eye before I could get control again, almost run into back of M3, luckily he pulled over and gave way to my greater skill and speed! I pulled in at next services to calm down! Discovered the difference between 70 and 120 horsepower!
