Probably not. I'm not always that cruel to idiots but yesterday I was feeling less tolerant than normal.
I was going to type just that but thought of the audience and decided against it. so I'll talk about the time where i was trying to decide what my next bike would be. I had an FZ750 and needed something bigger so took myself off to a bike shop who offered me a test ride on two bikes [1]. I set off on a thunderace. bimbled to a set of traffic lights and thought ok, I'll see what it can do. gave it beans. its a good job I've got short arms cos I dread to think what would have happened if when I shot back on the seat and luckily (?) my hands left the bars and shut the throttle. my reaction "oops" maybe less beans next time. certainly an eye opener. [1] the second being the T595 which I got as far as the end of the car park before I decided it was the bike for me. -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.net/faq/ Triumph 955iSS / ZX9R E1 / GSF1200 bandit (for sale) / CG125 MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
" " Yes, the Ace has quite an aggressive power delivery (I tried Colin's, as was), and certainly more immediate then the Blackbird. But nothing compared to the Gixxer Thou or 10R !! P.
said... The Thunderace is a highly underrated bike. I loved mine to bits and after 6 months of 9R ownership I wanted it back. I bought a Gixer Thou instead. Oh yes
