    Default Information very

    Specifications notwithstanding, compression piston stop recirculated.
    Furthermore racetrack feeling increased and seat height improved.
    Comparing to Fireblade Honda smoothing statistics increase from 2010.

    Yeah, makes TONS of sense, JP - You getting this straight of the Turkmenistan Moto-Rager website?

    I don't trust HP numbers unless they are quoted to at least 3 decimal places.

    no, just some trackdays and local CCS races. I can't get dragging my knees and skipping across the track out of my blood, it's like a disease! (thats what my wife says)

    I used to race bikes "back in the day"
    How hard was the transition from 2 wheels to 4?

    I plan on getting a FB, as I still feel the need for speed, but I am tired of bouncing across the ground when I make a mistake.

    No not at all hard. A lot of guys here came from racing bike (Coop included). I didn't think I'd like it as much but turns out I like it more (feel guilty saying that). Go for it you'll love it. And yes it is great not skipping across the track because of the littlest mistake.I just got the bike because I miss it and got an incredible deal I could Not pass up.
