Virtually the same motor as my S2R, just euro reg strangled.

Nice choice to start with and I imagine quite easy to steal back 5+bhp though I doubt if you'd really notice it but some judicious tweaks will give you a much smoother ride and better power delivery.

They're all good fun bikes, LOL but wouldn't we all say that here
Nowhere near as buzzy as a Japanese 4 motor but very engaging to ride and honestly a bit under rated by many. You aren't going to win too many drag races against similar capacity multi's and you will be down on top end which means you have to ride the bike and not just blindly nail the throttle.
Think sympatico


Having said that my other Ducati can hit 70 in about 3.5 seconds and is pushing 100+ in a sliver over 5 and the GPS data for the top end (I bottled before the rev limiter kicked in) was a bit more than was healthy for life, limb and licence
