ha ha, sorry shorties, got this as a loaner bike a coupla weeks ago.

My impressions

Didn't really like the silver and red

, umm yes well I'm 5'10" so I was flat footed and knees nearly at right angles. It flicked nicely through traffic, screamed through the gear changes really smoothly, pulled up real nice, what I didn't like was, mirrors not any better placed than the ZX6R, vibrated heaps through the pegs (V Twin trait?) fair bit of vibration also through the bars at low revs/standstill. And just couldn't get used to not being hunched over, and without knees nearly on the tarmac at ever corner

Um there is a V twin in kwakas range but V twin does NOT relate to sports bikes in any way, show me a V twin that can out do an inline-4 besides honda's V5...or MT-01

There is no such thing as a V twin and a sports bike in the same package, get over it.... :wink:
