I'm thinking more like it should have had mirrors at sometime in it's life

Serious point though, the best ride on an RS will win, but the average rider on the RS will still be average - see point well made above re Class B bike winning a Class A race. I have been on track on my 748e and not been beaten on power by a 748r purely because of line and corner exit speed. I've ridden around the outside of a lot of 996R's in my time on my CB500. A well known story exists of a certain Monty on his ST4 with panniers on it riding around me on my 748 at Silverstone on one of my first trackdays.....never again old man

I ride with some of the No Limits instructors and can't believe what they can do with a motorbike compared to my crappy skills
