The Ixion days are meant to be a bit slower. I'm sure you're not as slow as you're making out!

i'm liking the video, shame about the 2 bugs splats on the lense and the traffic you had.

i'm thinking that gixxer was a 750 'cos the number plate looked like a 10 reg to me, meaning that a 1000 would have twin exhausts, whereas the 600 and 750 have just one IIRC.

I was taking it to the redline on mine and he was pulling away no problem whatsoever - although I remember reading that this & last years 750 is around 150bhp? Been considering gearing mine down a little bit.... how often do I use 170mph (on the clocks anyway)?

i couldn't call myself an expert, but i'd say the power a '98 750 is putting out is probably a fair bit less that what a new one is putting out.
