That's awesome! I remember the first time I went full throttle/redline on the CBR. I slid back on the bike. LOL. The next time, I braced myself a bit more. Very peaky power. It was quick under 6k rpms but after 6k, it was a different machine. Bikes are pure euphoria. Just you, the machine and the road. Late night rides were the best. Sigh...I miss the bike but I did say my thanks every time I made it home safely.
