I want that bike so badly... I'd prefer it if it was better looking though but you can't have everything! Haha (Or please everyone)

With you there. Never been a fan of green, even though I've had a couple of green kwackys. I'm resisting the urge to repaint the track bike.

Gotta love the sound on that clip!

The new bike looks quality in the flesh,the Oem tyres are basically slicks I wouldn't want to ride them in the damp or wet

Tbh from what I've read I don't have any desire to trade up buts that's mainly because of the mods on my bike bring it up to a similar level.

Always is tbh. Surprised manufacturers don't get sued for liable. Actually not sure if they did in the US when they claimed the 2006 R6 rev'd to 17000 rpm. If they didn't get sued they certainly retracted and apologised for the inaccuracy of their statement. I suppose the only difference is its harder to proof the bhp figure is not true as too many variables involved where a red line is true or false.

I'm less bothered about trying one ,I can't see it being a quantum leap forward
Can you put a ttx active shock on the new model ?
