I havent, but chatted to many a rider, they reckon there a little flat at low rpm, and a little of the italian reliability.

part from that, bloomin stonker of a bike.

I had a go on one of the "challenge" bikes at Pembrey a couple of weeks ago and it went like a train, I also know someone who's just got his £8.5K crate for next season and is starting build soon so will let you know if interested. All challenge bikes are very near standard and the series is policed very heavily so what you see is what you get.

I had one last year. Absolutely awesome to ride and people seem to gravitate towards it and ask loads of questions.

Ohlins and OZ makes for a great combination on the suspended side of things and it turns into corners very quickly. First gear is a little short, and the clocks try and headbut you in first and second if you're too brutal with your right hand.

Did 5,000 miles with no problems. 3 rear tyres and 2 fronts though. Only 1 trackday. The engine used a bit of oil. About 1 litre in 5,000 miles, but is made by Rotax, so no reliability issues. Mine was chipped and had the Ti can.

Totally awesome bike and will have another one. Only reason I sold it was that I needed two seats. I've a mate who has one for sale with the dual seat conversion if you're interested. Mail me [e-mail] if you are.

Cheers
Matt
