Soooooo how was it???
Locked and loaded for tomorrow!! Only packed the new girl - the RSV4. The other racebikes are still off getting secret engine work done (Yeah rite!)
The current precipitation can piss off. I'm keen to try the traction control etc, but not in the wet on slicks!!

i would say he is very happy with it by the grin from ear to ear when he came in.
Cbr 600rr 07 track
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrk me!! What a machine!!! Did 4 sessions today on it - in the first one it felt like a comfy, wallowy road bike. So I firmed everything up a lot. 2nd session it felt like a racebike! It was actually too firm in compression both front and rear, so I backed off a couple of clicks at both ends, and the bike was simply unreal after that. The suspension is soooooooooooo good!! I've spent a year dialling in the suspension on the R6, and it's not as good as this standard Sachs stuff.
I made some tweaks to the wheelie control and the traction control too, and it just got better and better. I ended up dialling the wheelie control back up, as it was just popping the front end too easily. And I was progressively backing off the TC to get more speed and drive out of turns. I reckon the fastest setting will be the minimum setting, but I'm not there yet.
The gearing needs changing (it's still stock), and the TC and WC was starting to tear the back tyre, but FAAAARRRR OUT it was fast! It was completely effortless too - it cornered like a 600, but then disappeared down the chute like a superbike. I've never gone so fast on a brand new bike with so little effort. Spilly reckoned I romped away from him in the 3rd session by miles, and I was still just 'cruising' around.
In short, I'm very impressed!!

Oh no... does this mean you're gonna sell it?!
Bears, unlimited and 600 plus 600 clubby.
You better hire a personal trainer Marshy
Before I even picked it up Baddie has been hassling me to sell it to him

Sounds your liking the the new toy. One of the lads i go riding with has a RSV4F and he loves it, 600 feel with 1000 grunt + a GP sound track whats no to love about them.
He has just changed the gearing on his (only last week) for the creek, -1 front +2 rear, will be testing it out next weekend
Can't wait to see it in full flight.
do a burnout
Sounds awesome Nick. Very keen to see it on the track. If I ever get to one again

So do I. I just couldn't make them, paint them and fit them in 3 days, and I'm pretty sure he can't either!

Hmmmm, tempting. Anyone know the differences between the 09 and 12 models??

AFAIK, no differences till 2013 other than the ones between factory and R models
OK, since Qantas is taking forever I found a couple of things for you, Nick...
1st seens to be to stay away from the early model engines.
Second, this:
