The sound grabbed my attention, now I'm listening! Yes I did have a read of the spotted test mule details, hopefully it will drive the price of the 2014 bike down a bit.Kev L wrote:Not ridden one but they do sound nice, like a v4. Have you seen the press release for next years bike? 230bhp!!!!
The "twin" characteristic is very appealingbigtwinthing wrote:Hi Jamie, only the first years cross plane crank job (09 i think) fast as feck, feels like a twin below 5000rpm then smooths out. No power band just pulls and pulls.
I reckon knowing you, if you ride one, you will buy one.
I agree about the rear end, those standard cans are ridiculous, but a nice pair of black Akrapovics tidy it up.popkat wrote:Ridden an 09, in A mode the throttle is like a light switch which equals jerky fueling, in B mode it's better. they vibrate a lot at lower revs, pretty horrible really, from the riders seat back it all looks far too cluttered. I think there's other options that are far better. GSXR1000 better all round road bike and there should be an all new one for next year which should get back to the top of the pile, blade/zx10/s1000 all better bikes imo.
The storm isn't going anywhere by the way! I'm still as in love with it as the day I test rode it.Ckennedy wrote:Don't do it Jamie, don't do it![]()
You'll be riding in shorts and t-shirt nextGo for something less "chavy" like a RC8 or a Duc

I still think the RC8r would suit me best of all, but trying to think of practicality.
