Not quite a Tesla but I turfed the child out of this yesterday and had a spin..In the confines of a park it was great fun!





£115 for a slick doesnt seem so bad...until you realised what it fitted!

Agreed. The look of it grows on you.

Likewise. Out of curiousity which ride mode do you use on track?

I got the ECU flashed by Velox so it's in A from start up and I leave it there.

I found it quite odd after getting the flash. All changes were good and improved things, except for the removal of engine braking which as you'd know on these is pretty heavy.

Took a fair bit of getting used to not having it and being able to use it in corners.

Hooligan? me? I couldn't possibly comment wink you are right about the FZ1, it would be ideal if you do decide to get back on 2 wheels, although no-one would blame you if you decided not to.
I know, I just wouldn’t like to say I was interested and you miss another potential sale or anything like that. I’m sure it’ll easily sell looking at how good condition it is.

If it’s not sold as and when I decide whether or not to start riding again, definitely one for me to consider. No firm decision either way yet, I’m still currently leaning more towards riding than not, although fir some reason I’ve had a few more doubts this week.

Not going to worry about it too much at the moment, it’s a decision I won’t realistically need to make for maybe another six months or so.

No worries Will, It'll be gone by this Saturday whether it sells or not as I'm trading it in smile just thought I'd offer it up as its really cheap for what it is, £1750 would buy it if it went by Friday!

Mines got the Woolich flash so also starts in A-mode ... I'm actually looking at the race tools for the auto blipper and two way QS, but struggling to justify over £400 when I already have a QS fitted.

Agreed, it feels very odd and although smooth it still feels too aggressive for me on track. I use B mode on track which gives me all the power but opens the throttles much more smoothly from low down which helps me through tighter bends / chicanes / etc.

You'll get a good chunk of that back if you sell the healtech, I would have had it off you but I don't need an aftermarket one now, and it WILL be ready by Saturday!

That’s a bargain all right! I’ll have to pass for now I’m afraid, much as I’m very tempted. Cheers anyway, appreciate it.

Have you decided on what you’re going to go for then?

Aye, went round the North Coast 360. Inverness, JoG, Durness, Ullapool, Inverness. Dry roads while the middle of it had all the storms.
