not the bike for Hartside Nige, 12,500 rpm!! red line, way too short from bar to seat , arse in air hands tipped too far forward and if you try and slide back you end up even higher up. need to ride one but from sitting on it its just too track focused for me and the roads i ride up here , I'm looking forward to getting a demo to try though
