The tester owned his 1098 and had ridden it at that track many times. So we can assume he had set up the suspension correctly. But going the same speed as the Duc with only half the effort on the CBR would make me buy an RR if I was going racing. The magazine said the RR was soft below 4K, but that's where I do a lot of riding.

sposedly the american tune leaves A LOT on the table compared to the euro maps. pcIII oughtta be the first thing done. 'course with everybody leaning the fuck out of new bikes from the factory so they can pass our ridiculous emissions laws, that should be a universal truth
