It sounds horrific. How did Honda manage to make one of their (usually lovely sounding) V4's sound so bad?

It has a dry clutch, which like the older Ducatis, can sound like a bucket of nails.

ECU remap with throttle positioning will sort the snatchy throttle... night and day difference on mine

Ducati clutches do get rattly as they get older and the baskets wear, but this is brand new out of the crate, and it's a Honda so you'd hope it wasn't knackered straight out of the factory.

That said there is a rattle, but it doesn't sound like a typical dry clutch noise and that's not why it sounds horrible, it just seems to have a farty unpleasant exhaust note.

I like that meter which shows you the lean angle.

Yeah I think that it was I liked most. Impressive for a road tbh but when you see MotoGP get to 60+ degrees it really puts it into perspective how far over they lean.

It most certainly was, at some moments I thought he was going to crash going so quick around those twistys!

I feel I meed one of those gyro/gimbal things for my bike. Trouble is the ZX-6R has nowhere decent to mount a suction cup and not sure I want a permanent mounting stuck to the bike =/

Old, posted ages ago.

Only just seen it, that looked terrible.

benji182 · 30 Mar 2016 at 21:45

It was posted a few pages back now, but who honestly rides... accelerates even, while they cannot see where they are going?

My natural reaction is to brake, like last time. A truck splashed cars wind shield, I braked and slowed down as I could see f all.
