Lovely bike. 8) Perfect for a TT visit. :roll: :lol:

Thought you may succumb to a sportsbike in the end. :lol: Kwakers are a bit more roomy for us taller folks. 8)

Been out on it yet? How do you find it? Edit: Just read the whole post. :lol: Tell us what it's like at the weekend. 8)

Frank, who's organising the trackday on friday?? (no no no, must not go on track yet :oops: )

Scotty, 3 weeks is still longer than your first 340R :wink: :finger

meatball, :finger

Ferg, i'm not really bothered by tail tidy's and all that garbage.

D, i pick it up friday, so if you fancy a run on sat or sun (or both), then gimme a shout. Its certainly felt the roomiest of all the 600 sportsbikes i sat on, and i was impressed by the midrange torque. Havent revved it past 10k yet, been too scared :oops:

Neil,

Its a Knockhill organised day. You can buy 1/2 day morning or afternoon for £100 or full day for £175. All open pit lane.

I just saw that they are also doing a 2hr sessioned spell from 6pm till 8pm for novice and advanced. Not sure how much.

I'm doing the afternoon on the R1. Nice way to get the hang of your new bike :thumbsup

Take care,

Frank

Its tempting although i'm very aware of what happened the last time. The ninja 6 is very different to ride than the street triple so will take a bit of learning.
