did anyone catch this in the Top Speed article at the bottom of the first page?

Power: 96.55HP (70.5 kw) @4750 RPM
Torque: 63.10 Nm (6.4 kgf-m or 46.5 ft. lbs) @6440 RPM

Don't know where those RPM numbers came from but they're not the FZ's.

Yeah the clutch is really picky but you get used to it.

+1 on the frame sliders. I dropped my bike yesterday(rookie mistake), and the only thing that touched the ground were the sliders and the crank case got a little scratched. Fairing, signals, mirrors, everything was untouched.

Rider's review is online - check out the website.
I have a scanned copy of the MCN review from a fellow member. It beat the other bikes in most categories. PM me if you would like me to send it to you.

PM for the scan. It is one thing to send it to someone personally. It is sort of illegal to post them without permission.
