got insurance.. and the speedo sensor arrived this morning. so once fitted it was off for a razzzzzz.. started from cold on the button.let her warm up 50c and off we go..got to slip the clutch a little in second to get her going.[must remember first gear for lights and junctions

] the Mille race cans are so much louder than anything iv'e had on any bike. absoloutely spine tingling.[need to buy earplugs]
it pulls from nothing.[like the storm],only you can feel the extra horses, the standard suspension is way better than the storm,feels almost as good as my "Rogered" storm did. feels way quicker off the mark than the zx9, but safer,the accelleration on the zed was bonkers fast, and i didn't feel that i had to push down on the pegs to stay on,as i do on the Mille. [maybe the double bubble will help?] . effortless ride, fantastic [so far] in corners. feels really stable [steering damper] ,and the thing i really missed about not having a twin.
Engine braking..iv'e come up well short on a few bends today, and had to speed up before i even got to the bend. whereas on the zx9 in comparison felt like it had no engine braking at all..and i was rolling off at my usual markers, and the Mille was rolling to a stop at the point i would be tipping the zx9 in at. wont take me long to get used to the Powah of the twin again once iv'e remembered how to ride one,

love the Brembo brakes, bags of feel and real bite ,far more urgent than the zx9s and no fade, and the brakes on the zx9 are superb. cant get as far forward on the Mille as i could on the zx9 or the storm, so it gets a bit light at the front when exiting corners on the powah!..well then so far so good..oh the Mille runs very hot and the coolant is at max level, when i got home today and switched off i could smell that overheated waterless engine smell and the temp gauge read 111c the frame was hot to touch and i had to leave the ignition on to let the fans cool off the bike, think i may have a waterpump issue....oh well
