Some say the K9 is a bit of a dog.
Depending on exhaust, It's bark is worse than its bite.

While i'm sat waiting for food to turn itself into a lump of coal.
I thought I would work out a few more bikes piston speeds.

Mt09 59.1mm stroke @11000 gives 71.0 feet per second.

Ducati 1299 60.8mm stroke @ 11000 gives 73.1 feet per second.

sv650 62.6mm stroke @ 9000 gives 61.6 feet per second.

later R6 (after 06) 42.5 mm stroke @ 15000 gives 69.7 feet per second.

R1 new model 50.9mm stroke @ 13000 gives 72.3 feet per second.

Right I can smell burning so it must be ready. biggrin
