Fear not! It's fun on a good road but it's a beatch around town in the wet. It has far more power than I could ever need.

The first overtake I did this morning was of a large lorry doing 50 mph. I was in 4th. I breathed upon the throttle, somewhere a gnat blinked and the bike was then going somewhat faster and the lorry was a distant memory. Glanced down - I was still only doing 6000 rpm :eek:

Further overtakes were performed in top gear as there was clearly no need to ever change down and it still accelerated up to something very fast very quickly. Doubt I ever had the throttle more than a quarter open, if that.

So no, I won't be rushing out to buy one of these. I suspect a decent 650 would in practice be just as useful.
