But I bought my Rex to use as a tourer. I really hadn't expected the level of sports bike performance that it actually has!!! It's a real surprise package!!!!! .. Whatever you do...don't ride one!!! It'll be the end of ya!!!!

Too late Strika, had a quick blast on one on the weekend

(you'll never guess who loaned me the bike

), very very tasty mate. Suits the over 30 (I'm errh over 30) , has a huge amount of low rev torque compared to the 9

, and in this case the aftermarket Kerker was sheer music to the ears

, it seemed to orchestra a very deep bass note amplified during engine breaking, that encouraged one to over blib the throttle

, the biggest bonus was the sheer comfort level achieved by the upright position, for the performance. All in all it brings out the worst in one

, I want one. However I feel like I've cheated on the 9

, we still have unfinished business
