flying 749r !

Took my 749r out today for the first time after getting it back from its first service.
Boy this thing flys,at 8000 rpm its as though it says "so you really want to go then"feels as quick as my 890 ,only trouble is that i need to learn to grip with my knees when accelerating as i keep slipping back on the seat(hopefully the new gel seat will cure that) otherwise its going to be velcro on my ar*e.
The new buchi is a vast improvement on the standard fit slipper.,no freewheeling!
Hopefully the third generation ecu will be fitted before Cadwell so should be able to give full throttle as quick as i want without the huge flatspot that affects the bike now when shutting off.
JHP also went down 1 tooth on the front ,lowers the gearing by 9% avast improvement.
ROLL ON CADWELL>
