Just been and ridden one.
What a dissapointment.
The engine just hasn't got the same 'zing' as my '98 R1, and it's supposed to have more power!
The handling and brakes were pretty much the same as mine (awesome) except the pegs were higher.
I think i'll stick with what i've got!
stop polishin' it and ride the f***ing thing!
It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it.

I like the look of them
Obviously the exhaust and tail end would have to go

If I have to understand, don't bother to explain.

No comfier than my R1 fighter.
Pegs were quite a bit higher and rubber mounted!!!! My stupidly long legs struggled to get on them.
