Really didn't feel any different in the places you could open the throttle on it, and it turned and stopped far better than my 583 did.

I do think that its in the mind as the difference in power is pretty much negligable, its not like the difference between a 600 and a 1000 jap four.

Jimbers really has got on well with the 583 though so far, couldn't believe it was the same person after watching him at anglesey!

In fairness your 583 was fresh at the start of the season & the 620 was tired with 4 or 5 bhp down after a hard season & in need of a refresh.
