Yeah agree their wide. Makes it hard for me to get me little legs down when I stop. :lol: :lol: But by heck, can they handle. And they have soooo much more torque than a fizzie.

Only concession I'll make to the fzr is that when resprayed in one solid colour it looks far far better, especially without all crappy stripes on.
However as I find out when my biek was resprayed, there doesn't seem to be enough paint in the world to completely cover an aces' panels :whistle
