I think the 10 is a great bike, if it was a little bigger, better looking and had higher clip-ons I'd be riding one right now! :lol:

i didnt notice to much difference from my bike(9) to your bike (12)when your on normal freeway riding, you can only accelerate so fast before you pop a huge mono, not all the power is usable and the 9 has a great mix.

the only reason i can see a 12 being better is to actually cross 300kph....that said it did feel a bit more stable.

lets face it your gonna be able to outrun the cops on either :D

10 envy :D . It's a terrible affliction.

*sits back with hands behind head*...............*watches 10 v 12 riders going for it 'again' :roll: *...................*farts*..............*scratches balls*................*smiles that knowing smile that all 12 owners smile* :twisted:

One day, someone will get a 14 and *really* set the cat among the pidgeons.........maybe ? :? Hang on, isn't the 14 a *real* sports-tourer ???? You can't ride a 14 fast at all, its only good for panniers and a top-box .....
