Opinions please on a potential purchase
I'm a bit worried about the amount of power on tap.
 Before I get flamed, please note I hadn't kitted up yet. |

Re: Opinions please on a potential purchase
Obviously with that kind of power you'll be wanting to take it on the track.
From the photo it looks like it will be coming with wets fitted. Probably worth asking if they will include a spare set of wheels with slicks. Last edited by keith_d; 07-08-12 at 09:45 PM. |

Keep it on the street.
Can you imagine the women you could pull with that bike?

Re: Opinions please on a potential purchase
I think with a bike that powerful you're punching a bit above your weight. Can you honestly handle such a beast?

Lap records will tumble!
Has it got a slipper clutch?

Re: Opinions please on a potential purchase
knee down action and lambo racing is a must..they wont see you coming or even going.
Thats a definate sleeper. I see the previous owner has done the handle bar mod but would suggest a fender extender and a belly pan. Looking good
