Just a couple of short clips I got sent. Gotta say I love the sound of that bike.

That's turn one first lap, so going a bit gingerly.

The vids are marked as private?

Yep, we can't see them.

Arrrgh!!! Trying to work out how to sort that. Not sure why that happened.

It'll be on yoru account settings. You have the option to make yoru videos public or private.

Try again, pretty sure I've fixed it.

Yeah it wasn't overly obvious, I googled it to work it out. Had to go to each video and choose 'edit upload' then the privacy options showed up. Just using the YouTube app on iPhone as in in Darwin on my way to work.

You're definitely taking it easy into that corner, bike sounds great though - you'd likely never get on track with it in the UK! When you've got it fettled please post a clip of it on full chat, would love to hear it on the pipe.

Yeah first time thru the corner I was only doing about 130km/hr, last couple at apex I was just over 170km/hr, still not flat out but I thought I had all day to gradually build up, so I purposely went cautiously.

Also worth noting that clip ends just after the apex, you can only see half the corner, so it's only the entry you are seeing.

It does sound good.

I did take it up to the shift light down the straight but to be honest stuff was moving that fast and I can really remember the sound at full tit, it was all just a little insane!! I haven't been on a 1000 since 1996 and that was a '85 CBR, so it was all rather new to me! The straight seemed so much longer on my 600
