    The Fz is great around corners but you need to fiddle around with the preload till u get the setting right because she bounces around quite a bit under hard breaking. But with the right setting and maintenance throttle she is a blast around corners.

            That's very stable torso position, very clean i can't help but noticing and i believe you are still not hanging off (half-ass on the seat) the bike yet.
            I'm too intelligent to the unintended, and too dumb for the obvious.

              Thanks el loco diablo (cool name btw). I used to hang off a fair bit previously and killer rightly pointed that out because it wasn't really required at the speed that I was carrying. So have been working on that over the past few months.

                  @bandhav-thanks man. Have you had a chance to ride the Ninja around corners? I am dying to find out how she handles the curves.

                  • No bro i havnt got a chance to ride that Ninja around the corners, but the guys who have ridden it around track say that you can scrap your knee with your eyes closed.

                      +1 to this.

                      When i first rode the Ninja at the lavasa ghats..It is so nicely built that it didnt take me a little bit of effort to make that ninja corner..it did it by itself.
