7 seconds? for what 0-60 on BKing supposedly the same at 2.7 seconds, surely its the same as the busa?

I won't use anything other than the Storm II Ultra's now. had them on the zed and the xjr, and will slap a set on the MT once i wear the stock tyres out. on the zed:- BT021 - 2,800 - 3,000 miles Avon VP2 Supersport ( very soft though ) - between 3,000 and 3,500 till completely worn! Storm 2 Ultra - 5,000+ before i sold bike, with plenty left good for about 8k i would say at a push On the XJR the storm 2 ultra looked like new after 1500 ish miles

I couldn't get on with gel seats, you might find this as well in the summer when you do some miles! They get too hot and burn ya nuts!!!!

Been having fun on my new toy, even though the weather is crap and its plastered in salt. Used it a few times in its 'A'dvanced most which basically makes the throttle VERY sharp, and boy does it accelerate bloody quickly! I had a little google search and the 0-60 time on it is 2.7s!! thats a mere 0.2s slower than a busa Also makes it the fastest production Yamaha 0-60mph so far ( no times for the new R1/R1M yet ) The top speed isn't huge at 130ish mph but the acceleration more than makes up for it Had the ECU mapped back end last week which has smoothed the throttle in STD mode ( which was one of the bikes downfalls ) so now the bikes enjoyable in all riding modes. Can't wait to open it up on twisties and have some fun! Roll on summer

I'd love it if i could see 100 miles to a tank on my bike :| 85/90 on a good day

loud

nice! Taking it?

19th and the 26th seem to be the two good choices :P

you missing two bits of important info!!! is it noisy and how much lol Been searching for a carbon fibre helmet for the past 5 years, none go small enough to fit me

Taking mine in for its first service on sat! gone a bit over the 600 miles though!! The more i ride it the more i love it

Yup, got the boots, been rocking them for couple years now... Ride all year round, all weather and they are holding up well!! Just make sure you waterproof them as they seem to leak through the rubber bit on the front!!!

I'd be up for a southern ride again

I take it the BMW at the start of the vid is his? Well... ovc the clutch will be heavier, its cable not hydraulic for a start. The throttle is twitchy because.. well its a triple with shit loads of power ( emissions, fbw etc etc come into it as well, plus the BMW's are boring to ride ), two things you get used to when owning a cable clutch and a triple though. I still think quick-shifters are a waste of time for road use and frankly should only be fitted to race/track bikes.

Looking clean chad! Now ride it all i see in mine is road salt still done 300 miles in the few weeks i've been well enough to ride, hopefully by next weekend i can get the first service done

Or if the left lane ( for instance ) is for coming off and is sign posted! then its legal to travel up to the legal posted speed and technically 'undertake' the traffic.

oooo!!! few miles from the misses, might go to that one

*Bump* still for sale!

i thought they were just M10X25, 1.25 Pitch bolts on them?

bit of damp in the killswitch? salt in the side stand switch?

post mine at the weekend when i fitted exhaust

Will have to check with the misses, might go and get some use out me cameras
