Comedy Bike mate! Big lumpy engine, not great in the twisty bits! The gearbox although a bit notchy is tremendous, the gears go on forever, also the standard callipers, serviced properly are pretty good.

It will hang with the new boys up to 100 or so, and once you get the suspension right and learn it's rather unique attitude towards corners, you can keep with all but the swiftest in the windy bits!

The fairing is awesome though! I'm only 5"9'-5"10' so that may help but no wind gets to you no matter how fast you want to go!
