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

It's not a power remapping switch btw, it's there to retard the bike down to the same level as it's owner. So new gsxr has a retard switch, sounds much more accurate

I like that one

It wont help fuel consumption very much, it's still a litre sportsbike and as for placing 180 bhp onto wet tarmac; see previous statement about having a clutch, a throttle and a brain.
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
