aye, as of the Lou Reed sentiments, it really has! Sublime summer weather, few hours in the garden, a couple at work and then donned my Kushitani power ranger suit and other adornments to give the best bike I have ever owned a thorough pasting on the brilliant , unrivalled Scottish roads on my doorstep. My brilliant gsxr 750 k5 anni setting me back a whopping £4k is fast growing on me as a keeper.
The question I ask in defiance to all the shite that is posted on gsxr forums is, Holy moly what the fcuk is a man made of that can max out a thou on the road...

Re: such a perfect day
Back in the mists of time didn't one of the magazines hook up data logging software to one of those 1 litre bikes , they then gave the bike to some "ordinary " ( aka non roadtester staff members ) and from memory less than half throttle was used ?

Re: such a perfect day
Recently had a customer in professing his prowess over all things 2 wheel, and how his jap sports bike was easily tamed and that an S1000RR would be easy meat to his expertise, and could he have it without that stupid traction control ......boxerscott wrote:aye, as of the Lou Reed sentiments, it really has!

Re: such a perfect day
Steve in the list of high profile riders you forgot to mention Bertie Big Bollocks 
Your post sums it up succinctly.
Please tell was the s100rr a considered cash purchase or was It " a deal one could not refuse" (PCP)
