... reckon (which has M5's on it). They also seem to tip in faster? Its a great bike this CBR600rr (2005) - i haven't ridden it much at all in the 10 years we have had it now, but frankly its better than my RC8 in everything apart from power. I've thought that for a little while, but riding them both ...

Re: 2014 Kawasaki Z1000SX ongoing review

However with the issues in Almeria this year I got to ride both Jakes and Neil's 750's wow!! I mean wow, what a difference they do make, so much more torque, you really feel it out of corners ...

Re: the tyre thread

I'd agree with that, even Pirelli openly state that while the SCs are street legal the carcass is not really designed for road use. I loved them on the road though, like snot on a blanket. If I did more than one or two track days a year I'd buy cheap take offs and leave them on.

Re: Suzuki Gsxr750 test ride

When I had a little look at the 750 last year there were some stupidly good deals if you'd take a less popular colour, there were loads available. It always reviews well too. If they are saying there are none left is there a new one on the way?

Re: Chain soft links

Yep, nothing in the diary yet but will be doing a least one this year. Probably Cadwell, but might do a half day taster first at Darly Dale as it's only 60 quid, 20 minutes away and I've not been on the track for 3 years!
