I had a Jap 600 before my 748

My first impression's were mixed - firstly nobody had told me it would feel this agricultural/crude after an IL4, next the fuelling was a nightmare around town (FIM chip & 3 more cogs on the rear solves this), next it felt down on torque particularly exiting 2/3nd gear corners where I thought the 748 would be stronger....... - like you I wasn't sure if I'd done the right thing - I was expecting it to pull like a train and I was missing the induction howl of my ZX6R!!

Then riding back to Nottingham, a bit ****ed off, I hit an empty fast sweeping A road and just f**king nailed it - no doubts left after that, Brands Indy just confirmed I'd had made the right choice.

Keep the faith
