People often think that dragracing is not a skill, that is just a matter of going for it. In experienced hands a bike can seem much faster than it really is off the block.

Just something to consider.

How can an 09 feel slower than an 03? There's 6 years of engine development and weight saving right there.

Is there a prescribed time limit on driver's licences when in ownership of a 10R? I'd love one once I get over the power of my 750 but I couldn't imagine holding my licence for very long :?
