lol im a little taller than _indigo_ so i am comfortably flatfoot with standard back height, and lowered front for better handling.
the monster rides herself... i just sit there and look pretty! loves corners and gnarly roads (and sounds awesome doing it)
its a fairly heavy bike (180kg, 7kg eavier than my partners fireblade) but is balanced perfectly. My father-in-law who hadnt ridden for 20years got on it and within minutes was hanging it out to the edges of the tyres (much to my horror!) he had a GT250 (yeah a 2-stroke) in the 70's
pwer delivery? well its low end torque... i can burn almost anything off in town, especially from a standstill just when it comes to openroad speeds it falls short... top speed with current sproket is 170km... and without the fairing its a little uncomfy for extended periods over 130km. Its kind of hard trying to keep up with the fireblade

aws for 4s? well i am a ducati girl...if i didnt have a duke i would have a guzzi, aprilia or a triumph. But i am considering getting a few more bikes... on the shopping list is a ducati sport1000 and an ST2 (for my partner) and probably a 750ss as my sports bike

bah you shouldn't have got me blaaing about bikes!
