Hey Toto

Mate your blade looks the biz, could you do a write up sometime
about your views of the bike on the road ie handling power etc..
Doesnt have to be long just to give us an idea of how this machine rides..

All the best and safe riding and enjoy your blade

Skid Lid is impressive ...

mate you got a nice naked version there.
talking about my views, i dont think my english is good enough to write one. but let me try my best here.
handling: i personally only have ridden a 2002 r1, 06 and 08 r6 as sports bikes, never tried the naked version of any of it. talking about handling, the cbr1000rr really stands out. i have to say honda now make really good bikes with good charastics. it is just simple to throw in corners. i used to be a yamaha guy but now, i vote for hondas. it gives me so much confidence in cornering. the body is rigid enough.
power: SMOOTH. thats the word i would use. from low end to the very top, the power delivery is just smooooooth. at around 6k, you can feel a punch, and louder sound. but in each gear, there are more than enough torque for you to use. i just did the exhaust flapper mod, now it has more pep at low range. great power out of that engine, amazing dyno proof everywhere on the internet.
other than power and handling, this bike is a beauty with the design and every piece of detail. and sounds awesome, more like something between a inline4 and a v-twin.
