Blimey.... the bike howls!
Well, The bike broke the 1000 mile barrier 2 Sundays ago so is fully run in. I am still getting used to revving the bike up to it's 14,000rpm red line! It doesn't feel natural after being used to the low revving ZRX. The speed 4 howls as the revs get above 7,000rpm and it just seems to pull and pull!
I'm still happy with the handling of the bike and love the way it can change direction really quickly. It's a whole new style of riding comapred with the ZRX so i'm learning all the time.
The only slight issue I have found with the bike is that it doesn't like slow speeds at low revs. Anything below 3000rpm and things get quite juddery. This can soon be overcome with either more revs, in a lower gear or by simply slipping the clutch. Some people see this as a problem but i just see it as a quirk and something i can happily get along with in return for a great handling bike.
