Before you die you have got to have a go on one of these.

Mine for the next few days while wide one is in dry dock. Muhhahhhhhhha.

If anyones interested its Steve's own personal bike from www.K2motorcycles.co.uk Yeah I know blatant plug. Quick rundown. Really comfortable and felt so right to sit on from go. Handlings kleenex tissue job. Goes like it should. Soooo small and light and.........

I don't want to give it back. Wife not amused.

Do it. Offer him the services of the wife, whatever it takes. You gotta have a go.

I can't wait for 5 o'clock tomorrow morning. Keep finding reasons to go to garage. Even cleaned wifes car for some reason.

They're very pretty, but not as good all round as the old 'carb'd' engines.
I was disappointed when i rode one.

I've not ridden a modern 1000 though, only 600s, and I bet that will make the ace feel like a lardy old bus.

Or will it?

Most modern mags reckon in the quest for headline grabbing peak power outputs the modern litre bikes require you thrash the knackers off them? Does it have much in the low-mid range?

Fuel injection makes for very smooth pick up. 6 gears takes a couple of minutes to get used to. Gonna be searching for sixth again after sunday.

Anyhow bike feels really narrow and small compared to lardy bike. As for bottom end grunt, if I rode it like a head case, I reckon the front wheel wouldn't stay down until silly figures.

If I had my way I would have jumped straight to a R1. But the Ace does everything very well. This bike is comfortable. Older R1's I find the seat a bit wide (good coming from a wide bike owner), but I reckon it wouldn't do for peeps with wider asses than me.

Dunno it just has that "feel" right about it. Some of you will know what I mean.
