Wimbledon high street? You mean the mad mile-every time! Do you know it?

Where abouts in Berks are you Busamav? My ex used to live Nr Ascot (not the posh part-sadly) Lovely area though not speed camera molested either.

I agree totally!!!!!! Having owned several bikes including an R1 i give them the upmost respect. I meant "nutters" meaning the way they can handle a bike at such speed & skill!!! Just wish i could ride like that, not brave enough though!

My theory is that perhaps those of you who can't hit these figures may have the revised -'01 onwards. Thought I'd read somewhere that the ratios had been altered. Would make sense as most people believe Honda tamed things down throughout the years, suspension reworked ecu etc.

I would have thought that they "tamed" the ecu on the later models. The 99-01 cars aren't meant to see anything other than Super unleaded whereas the 02 onwards can run on 95RON quite happily
