Easy off the power with passengers hehe, can get the front wheel off few feet on the power, but never able to keep it there, sure ive just got to give it more gas but its getting the balls to do it lol, can nail it to the limit around a track but lack the confidence to balance a bike on one wheel

It's pretty easy when you have nearly 200bhp at the back wheel....

How early? April/May time any good?

May sounds more my kind of month! Of course for me this all depends on what sort of quotes I get after 1 fault claim.

Damn... me.

Thats a lovely looking bike. I've liked the looks of the R1 since it came out (Esp in blue), and they get better with each revision.

Yep our Desmo is running ~195bhp at the rear wheel (once it's run in of course...) and the 1098R should be around 170 since it's just a shade over 190 at the crank with the Termi system on it.
