theweeman, Good choice, i have owned a 748bp, 748sp and 916/955 jobbie best handling bike i have ever ridden, not the quickest and probably not as punchy as the storm but they are good fun and for me was fairly comfy. My fave bike was 748sp which i raced for a couple of years with mixed results due ...

Egg, I agree with you matey. Rode my mates new cbr600rr and now i see why i stuggle on the bends when i'm riding with him, i have to push the front hard just to keep up. We swapped bikes on the way back from the ride and after 2 mins or so i couldnt see him the handling on these new generation of ...

Practise Practise Practise..................... on someoneles bike :lol: Thats all i can say or buy a cheap supermoto or offroad bike to practice on because when you fall off generally it doesnt hurt that much 8O and these bikes bounce very well. I had another go yesterday on the storm and i'm still ...

Ben,

Wooohooooo what dont you know about these vtr's.

I think i do need to pick your brains over these machines.

Thanks for the response i will ring david sliver this morning and order one.

Thanks,

Mark.

P.S any news on the shock?

Quick action throttle, anyone know if anyone does one for the storm at sensible money? I have heard that a modified blade one is better but i cant find the damb article i was reading it from now gggrrrrrrr......................... I know i need stronger wrists LMAO :roll: but really i do like quick ...

Get a test ride. I rode one a few months back when i was considering an sv1000 and this was way before the storm idea come up. Its goes,stops and handles well. Its a bit quicker than the storm but less midrange but other than that its a 1000cc vtwin really its much of a muchness and down to personal ...

The rsv are great bikes all in all not that much better than the storm, not sure if they are worth the extra couple of grand over what my storm cost me. Planning to get the storm to handle and stop, it goes well enough form me anyway as i'm not after silly speeds just want the grunt coming out of ...

An indicated 205 on a busa at bruntinthorpe speed testing as the bloke who's bike it was didnt have big enough goolies.... 181 on a gsxr1000 on the m54 and not really taken the vtr to the max yet somewhere around 140 mark will be about right. Was caught a while back on the a50 by a volvo T5 on my ...

My advice is do it yourself. A good explanation on how to is here. http://www.roadracers.co.uk/dynojet.htm scroll down for vtr info I reckon that 180 mains is fine and thats why i am running but with open end cans i would recommed using 190 as my bike definetly ran sweeter with the stock muffler on ...

I had a go tonight as per movie.......... well as i could wheelie anyway quite well on a supermoto but have never really tried a superbike just didnt see the point until NOW i bought a vtr. The only problem i found is you just ran out of road to quickly and by the time your in third thats just to ...
