Thats a scary thought Jools...my old man shat himself going up the road on my 115hp 10 year old 888 last year....but at least hed had some experience on big bikes years ago..and it certainly isnt a c.1hp>1kg ratio firebreathing nutcases tool.

Ive lost 2 mates now who did a quick test and bought powerful bikes...not a good recipe at all..
