Hey Al, I'm prolly preaching to the converted already if you have done more than one ride with Phil!!! :lol: 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!!!!! Much more than the sum of it's antiquated parts list!!!!!! :shock:

The only time I have found the Rex Wanting, was whilst pedalling along with an Ex A grader on a well set up current model CBR600RR on a tight tight mountain road. I could keep with him, but couldn't pass and it was a little bit of work to stay with him. He was having a red hot go though, as No one likes having an antiquated bit of kit in front of there modern sports tackle!!!! :oops: He had Race tyres on it also. I reckon If I had the same tyres, it may have been a different story, as I leave a little in reserve for the road tyres. All that just means that the rex is a very very handy bit of twisty road tackle, as well as all the other things it does so well!!! Whatever you do...don't ride one!!! It'll be the end of ya!!!! :lol:

Too late Strika, had a quick blast on one on the weekend :D (you'll never guess who loaned me the bike :roll: ), 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 :o , 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 8) , 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 :twisted:, I want one. However I feel like I've cheated on the 9 :oops: , we still have unfinished business ;) ........
