    It feels like trouble.

    Honestly you end up going 20mph faster than you honestly think you are. Very deceiving and boy is it a thirsty fooker.

    Feel wise it really is a mix between a inline 4 and a V-Twin. It's even lumpy down in the lower revs just like a twin.

    Its hard to describe, its totally different to a normal inline 4, its described to me as a cross between and V-Twin and a V-4 engine with the 'gruff' off-beat sound of a subaru boxer engine to boot.

    ColinBR and Shineyside up can give their thoughts, its a very addictive engine but hides the speed of the bike like nothing else (proper look at the clock and 'how fast am I going' moments when riding it)

    sounds like I need to have a go on one.. I've always loved the feel and sound of a twin.

    Cheers Guys good luck finding the right bike Denzil..

    He's waiting for Bandit to get back to him.

    I may be going out with him to have a look this week

    As for the resale I know Den well enough to say he will keep his bike until he kill's it. why he needed to replace his 98 R1. Rode it until it died lol. I ship you not.

    He's off to look at my friends on Saturday. It's a cracking R1.. Don't think you'll find a better one locally. I was going to buy it myself but bought a new car instead.
