To quote Mr Murray, sometimes of this parish:


If you haven't yet seen it, then I thoroughly recommend this month's
"Bike".

Specifically, for their experiment in taking a stock R6, plus another
same, and doing some very basic re-tuning of the other one to sacrifice
a bit of top end for a bit more mid-range.

An then they did a sort of blind test with staffers and readers.

Absolutely fascinating. One of the most original feature ideas I've seen
in ages, and bears out the sort of guff that us old farts witter on
about - screaming top end horsepower, and that last fractional bhp, and
that 3mph advantage, is a waste of time (off the track).


I know it says "off the track" but how many of us would honestly find the limits anyway?
