aye it does look a bit beastly, quite like it - theGr33k may well be pleasuring himself over the photo's too

you've spoiled my guessing game now
really do like the bike - one question how the hell do you corner with clipons though?! That took (/ still is taking!) some getting used too.
Yep, keep an eye on the carlsberg thread

Should be a nice bike, reminds me of the lines of a CBR1000F for some reason.

Easy, HTH

To be fair I hate nakids, they feel like your hanging on a washing line to dry, with your elbows round your ears
Clip ons + Tank bag = slouchy on long journeys.
Get your elbows in

The nekkid handled so effortlessly - you could drop it into a corner stupidly fast.
Gonna have to give this clipon lark a bit of time. Seems like a lot of it is using your body.

I went the opposite way - now I keep turning in early (suprising, as the GSXR would take a turn as soon as you looked at it)
