What's more blasty about it than your R1? It's only about a 3rd of the
power with a similar weight. Going by the pics I saw of your R1, I thought
*that* was lush.

Good stuff. I only get about 90-100 miles on my shitty SV before the fekkin
light, um lights.

A deffo plus. Again, my SV hurts after 100 miles so the tank range is
obviosly engineered to give the aching buttox a rest.

I have followed you in London traffic, going slow so that I can keep up
at *full* frottle, I shudder to think how hard the brakes will be
working at 20% up on your normal speed.

Heh, I had to push the K12 off the A102 because of that poxy light, at
least it was rush hour so I was able to keep up with the cars.

Big singles seem to use absolutely fuck-all petrol even if you rev the tits
off them. Mine, while not that big, does 110 miles to a tank, which isn't
bad when the tank only takes £7.50 of petrol
