It was shockingly light and nimble-feeling. Granted, it had no fuel in the tank... which helps... but the weight they shaved should make a big difference.

Sadly, I'm going to hold off a few years before I try to step up to the big boy for racing. I want to wait until traction control is available (which I anticipate within 3 years).

Isn't that the same version of traction control that led me to highside on a 98hp bike??

BTW: Reminder -- I want that box from your wheels -- please let me know when you get your new set from TAW.

traction control is available now baby ... it's called your right wrist, you know ... the one that twists the throttle [cheeky]

The ergonomics are very similary to the 749's I've been on.

Prolly the dsme adjustments as the xx9 series.

I spent a lot of time poking around the tricked out S model with all the tasty add-ons. I hadn't before seen that feature where you can adjust the brake lever travel with knob by the clutch. That'd be really cool to deal with brake fade later in a race.

The monster (s series, at least) comes with that type of adjustability on the levers. It's a dial and not easy to do with one hand, but it *could* be done.

That's bad ass.

I'd personally recommend bleeding and checking your brakes before a race... but as a "just in case", that's nice.
