Looks great and an impressive power to weight ratio to boot.

I wonder how well it handles?

[Monty]

I imagine like a 2006 R6 with lightweight wheels and 40kg lighter

[Kwacky]

Are you sure you're not a journo for MCN?

[Monty]

Could be!

He uses it for a track days so it must handle pretty well. He didn't really modify the frame or suspension at all so it should handle like an R6.

What's a "kg"....other than a large amount of powdered fun in small baggies???

2-strokes are too much of an on/off/fall-off switch for my meager skills. I blame the track.

You really haven't got the hang of this google thing have you? Or as I more likely suspect you are taking the piss because no one could really be as ignorant as you make out to be.

But just in case 2.2 lb = 1 kg.

[D41]

Why would I use Google when I have you to do it for me????

[Kwacky]

140kg = 308lbs

Or the weight of your last girlfriend.

Or the weight of your last girlfriend.

Yep....and that weight was "per leg".


The Metric thing throws everyone off here.....same with US gallons & Imperial.....shoes sizes, etc.

[Kwacky]

shoe sizes are easy, the US sizes are 1+ on the UK sizes.

You make your shoes sound bigger and your dresses sound smaller than ours.

[D41]

I don't own any dresses, honest.

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I think that bike on the dyno sounds awful. I much prefer the sound of a twin, Triple or a V4.
