Following up from this thread viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2411 I test rode a 1125r today and found it an interesting bike,could have done with some time setting the suspension up to my tastes but if it was set on stock settings it wasn`t a million miles out.The engines in these bikes are a eternity away from what the aircooled engines can offer,with a nice spread of torque from 4000 upwards then a warp speed Mr Zulu from 7500 on
The front brake was awesome with the rear no existent(not that it mattered),but I was hoping the bike was more comfortable than I found it I just couldn`t take to the riding position and I so wanted too.So for the time being I`ll keep the tuber and keep on improving that

Why not try the cr; sitting position with the higher bar is much better,

Not really an issue that Pash,the map in it now is good at the moment for me,I`ll just tune the engine for more power then remap again.When the tax and insurance runs out in November I`ll strip the motor down and ship some parts off it to Dan
I reckon for less than half the cost of changing to the 1125 I can make some worthy alterations to the X1
