Sorry no more pics, Bike belongs to the better halfs boss, I didn`t know what was going to happen hence no proper riding gear, just had spare helmet and gloves in the car.

Bike only has 130 Kilometers on the odo, so it`s still in running in period.

was not allowed to rev past 6000 rpm, and that`s were it starts making real power.

Suspension is really hard and not suited for road conditions. My track prepared R1 has softer suspension.

Otherwise it`s the classiest ride EVER! Sounds Awesome

BTW did offer my services for the running in period which lasts until 1000 Kilometeres.

The bike is actually quite roomy, very similar to a 1098, For track days I use a 04 R1 with about 190 BHP which is setup to steer sharply ( Front dropped through the Yokes about 1 inch and the back jacked up by about 1 inch, full RaceTech Suspension ) The D16 turns slower, but on stock settings.

Up to about 6500 RPM there are loads more torque than the R1, unfortuanatly that`s were I had to stop the fun.

Everything on the bike just looks so classy and well made and the full Termi race exhausts sound awesome.
