Passed 4 minors 2 for going too slow :lol:
picked up the cbr about 2 hours later
the ride home was interesting, getting familiar with a bike 10 times more powerful than what I passed on in a city I do not know :S made it home alive though. been great fun saw lots of other bikers out and felt awesome being out on my own =]
Think it's time for a nice cold one

Thanks guys =]
Hah it is taking me a while to build up confidince though, especialy high speed cornering can't quite go at the same speeds i go on my car. it is brilliant fun tucking up tight behind the fairing though you can go much quicker and just ye I am still grinning. think a bikesafe course is in order
oh and bloody hell the 33bhp restrictor doesn't even feel like its in slightest blip of the throttle in low gears and I've jumped up 10mph!!! its crazy. god knows how you lot ride your 1 litres.

What CBR do you ride and how does it respond to the restrictor kit?

Haha, can tell you've never ridden the bike without the restrictors in, try a slight blip jumping 20 or 30 mph and that's closer to the real thing. I thought my ZXR was painfully slow with the 33 bhp restrictors in but that was only cos Id ridden the bike without them so knew what it was capable of.Hah it is taking me a while to build up confidince though, especialy high speed cornering can't quite go at the same speeds i go on my car. it is brilliant fun tucking up tight behind the fairing though you can go much quicker and just ye

Had the same feeling a month back when i picked up my first bike (Suzuki SV 650s) Pulled away for the first time in front of an audience of salesmen and mechanics and.. Stall
Luckily my tinted visor hid my bright red face!!
Since then i havn't stopped grinning-the bug has bit!!
Ride safe and have fun matey!

CBR 600 F2 and it responds very well to it, but saying that I have not rode the bike derestricted. seems tourquey enough got 90mph out of it (on my friends private road ofc) but havent really tried to ride the thing hard yet as i'm still rather new to it all =]oh drove the cage to work today for the first time since passing and bloody hell was that boring and so so so slow. and knowing I didn't have the power to overtake if I felt like it was just annoying, don't think I will be making the mistake of driving it again not until winter at least
