Na i disagree i think the switch is a good idea if you doin a lot a commuting it will save a tidy sum at the end of the year but even if it were a tank of fuel, "a tank of fuel is a tank of fuel". as for restricting it in the wet on a bike that fast heavy and expensive i would like all the help i could get to keep it upright.

Its easily one of the best thousands on the market today in my opinion

:smt046 I like that one :D

exactly, if you cant handle the power you shouldnt be buying a thou. Theres a perfectly good powere restricter in the form of your right hand and your brain!

If i was thinkin of gettin a thou thoe it would be a strong contender. they look much better when you see em on the road if you ask me. but the only reason i would want a thou is if i had loads of commuting to do.

Yea i can imagine it eats that lot if you ride it like a race bike every day. every person i seem to see on one is older an not rippin round everywhere. (to be fair thats probly why) but if i had to get a thou i would have one of them or the R1.NAAA i would have an RSV dont care about the cost of runnin or the expensive service :smt055
