Yep...ME! LOL   I've done my 2 years probation (plus 3 months) so the restrictor kit came off today. Not ridden it yet (Geoff took it to the garage) so I asked him what it's like....it's like a CBR600 he said! Git!! LOL   An extra 75 ponies...don't know whether to be scared or excited.   Couldn't believe what've they've taken out of it...a little bracket (the throttle stop) and 4 discs (the inlet washers) that look like oversized dog tags (for a dog, not the military jobbies). Total overall cost - £360 OUCH! Thumbs Down Shall put a pic on my profile later of said kit.

Shame there isn't a "read" counter on forums. Reckon this thread will get a ton of hits thanks to Roachy's double-entendre...LOL

OMFG about sums it up!   No difference round town apart from the engine seems a little smoother but OMG the acceleration now at higher speeds.   I don't have to dance up and down the gearbox now between 2nd and 4th and overtakes are so much quicker and smoother therefore safer.   Won't say what my top speed was but she's got lots more to give, was only in 4th!
