Re: Bargain 1199s

I agree Monty.

I tend to find myself using power mode 2 on the road on the ten.

It has a softer throttle response but still gives full power but only when throttle open past 50% which seems a good solution IMO. Progressive power coming out of corners but full fat when / if needed on straights.

Re: Bargain 1199s

I would tend to agree but I m also wondering how much of a handful the 1299 might be on the road. Its makes 40 bhp more than a zx10r at 8000rpm (shocked) I would like to test ride an 899 and 1299 back to back But as Duke says, just because it's there doesn't mean you ...

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

... that would make me feel alive and smile. The sound from even the stock exhaust is amazing, I have no idea how they got it through all the road tests. I've just run it in already around Wales and it had it's first service today (I got it last week really) and it really is amazing, easily ...

... unmarked vehicles. You only have to use a motorway and drive past a cop car to witness the reactions and changes in driving from the majority of road users (myself probably included)

Re: 2015 R1 Review

Can't see all the video on my phone Duke.

One think I can tell is he has his dash in track mode not road mode which I haven't really used for obvious reasons.

In road mode a single light flashed on the right if I remember correctly.

Re: Motorcycle Off Road Experience Day - Wiltshire

Yes its in a different venue altogether. It was at Bevercotes nr Mansfield last year. I guess they move it around to let others have a go.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??

Packed up the track bike. I've managed to fettle the leathers so I can do the fly's up with some pliers and the jacket with a key ring. Not practical for road riding but fine on the track.

Going to check Fridays forecast again and if it's still OK I will be booking Friday at Mallory.

They wont let me do it again. I think once you have done it once then places go to first timers first of all.

Motorcycle Off Road Experience Day - Wiltshire

<r>Some may remember the photos of me covered in dirt after doing this last year.<br/> <br/> It was a huge amount of fun and a good taster for off road biking and all for only £30, and everything included on some decent off road bikes.<br/> <br/> The only downside i can see this year is that its ...
