Do those r1's do 108 mph in first gear?

104 mph bouncing off the rev limiter.

I guess its all relative to the rider and how big his nuts are.. the road isnt really the place for the sports bikes to show what they can do either.. Having had the 600s before the Blade, i think sometimes its more enjoyable to be wringing the neck of a 600 than trying to balance the power/grip of a thou.. Noticed the R6 redlines around 17.5k!!

3 days, for a little nibble - longer than I thought

Haha! Remember taking an 04 R1 out when they were new out and hitting 95 in 1st, it just didnt seem right going any faster than that! I had the Blade and litre bikes are good but i probably enjoyed 600s more..! Then again i'll probably buy it and be bored in 6 months and get another Blade!!
