    You'd leave me for dust by the top hairpin - it was on Derby Ring road on Saturday where I gave it a few beans - but any monkey can go fast in a straight line lol

    The engine just so different - you wind it on and its only when you look at clocks that you realise you're moving faster than planned

    . Can't really add any more ,Although my brakes on the 750 are Bembro and are really good the BMWs make mine feel like they have wood as brake pads. It's far to harsh for road use and needs softening up ,it reminds me of my 05 zx10 or being sat of a block of steel very ridged but in a good way .Speed wise it was effortless and loads of power but not frightening but once the first service is done and the limiter removed god knows what you could do with it .

    First ride out on the Speed Triple today, very different to the Blade! Got a big nail in the back tyre though - new Racetec ordered.
