3X's open day today...

Took a Brutale 910 and an F4 1000 out over a 25 mile twisty road..very nice.

F4 1000..jeezus..what a missile !!! Quickest thing ive ridden - and ive ridden plenty. The front wheel came up changing from 3rd to 4th over a crest....amazing piece of kit and a licence loser for sure.

That said, the 910 brutale was much better as a road bike..bags more torque and you can do 25 miles without suffering from neck injuries...!!! (mind you at 6'1" im a bit too tall for both).

But the memory of giving that F4 some berries will stay with me for quite some time I have to say.

But I still wouldnt sell either of my dukes !! The brutale is a cracking tool, but teh S4R has it beat IMO..more planted (no doubt due to its longer wheelbase) and a more usable motor.

Oh..had a demo booked on a Benelli TNT too afterwards..but it wouldnt start.... :eek:

Good (cheap) days entertainment anyway..thanks 3X Motorcycles..!

Thanks for taking the pic Pedro.. ;)

I too had a go on the F4 (and a 999 in pouring rain). I know exactly what you mean Natty, absolutely insane. Wouldn't mind one, but I would need more experience to trust myself on it. Not sure where to ride it in this country either...even though I can't loose my license here. :D
A very nice day indeed.
