Mad dog, first thing I bought when I got R1 was steering damper, even with that on shakes its head, once on a blast came round sweeping bend and forgot there was a bump at end of bend and boy it earned its money at 140mph, funny you state 179mph, as that’s the exact fastest I ever see on the clock. Makes a lovely growl on the gas.Amuses me that it’s now going up in value as I only got it cos the rg blew it’s gearbox all over the road a couple of months before we was going on bikes to Dutch TT and I needed a bike quickly and it was at right price, really wanted a R6 but couldn’t find one at price point.
