I reckon we will cope ok, bit of learning, I maybe wrong but I think the corner speed is approx the same as 583's, they are just faster in between the corners.

you cant have mine, sorry, I'd keep the 5 speed box if thats what you have, 6th gear is a bit crap really, I found that if I gear to use it then I seem to changing all the bl**dy time and go faster just using 5.

but thats my opinion I s'pose

That's what I thought when I left Class B - unfortunately reality didn't bear this out.

PS Anyone got a pic of the front of Ron's bike? When I looked over my shoulder it always was so far behind after the 1st couple of corners that I couldn't swear I'd recognise it.....

I don't have a photo of it, but I do have a lasting image if it seared into my mind from the moment before he ran me over!
