| Deej, sold a RRX blade for a 916, and it took 6 months to learn to ride it. you are still in IL4 mode, and it will take a while to get used to not thrashing it to the red all the time and change up nice and early ready for the power in the next gear not when you are just about past peak power.
The handling felt awfull when i first got mine, very heavy and unstable with little feedback. I threw away the D207's that were on it and put new BT010's which transformed the bike esp the stability. (now running 012's and i dont like the front feel so going back to a 010 if i can find one)
As for speed, my old 916 runs out of puff after 130 and to be honest i dont think my NC30 is that much slower up top and is actually better at holding speed, but that doesnt worry me in this day and age.
report back in 3 months and i bet you will feel quite differently
(although i did try a 748 and chose the 916 for the extra grunt and roughness - may be worth trying a 900cc one just so you know) |
