God I don't know if my license will take this. Been out for a 50 mile ride mix of tight twisties up hill sides and fast A road. Feel like an 18 year old hooligan again. So addictive in the band and seems to be getting faster every mile. Not any long straights but did see 110 at 9k in top with no sign of topping out so well happy Just need to find out how to fund keeping it in fuel and oil, petrol bad enough but £12.50 for a litre of power1 Steve

Weather lovely up here today, just a bit cold after the sun went down. Don't know if I will be able to walk by the valve for the fireblade now. Funniest bit was the look on the poor police car drivers face as he met me hugging the white line exiting a sweeper at 90 Classic Steve

Used to have a mate with a 400 that used to wheelspin and wheelie at the same time from a stop start.He was also small and was always getting asked if he had passed his test,at which point he would point to the sidepanel and say "Its a 400".
