The one I rode surprised me. Much more fun than the loaner CBF600 I had for a while but still comfortable.

The only thing I didn't like was that I kept hitting the limiter as the power doesn't seem to taper off at the end. It needed another 1000 revs ;)

There was something quite satisfying about chasing the bigger bikes down wasn't there.

Great trip that one.
