I have to agree to a large extent with Jools. I traded my 916 for a new R1 (partly because noone wanted to but the 916!). The Yamaha is a spectacularly fast bike, and the acceleration is unbelievable. I've only had it a few months, but already I can see that the attraction will wane, if for no other reason than licence preservation. I know the throttle works both ways, but the will-power needed not to open it up... Then I'm sure I'll go back to anothe Ducati (996SPS or R I expect). Andrew |
