    Sadly its not today, or tomorrow but come the 30th of March, you will see me cruising through the metropolis that is Trowbridge haha on the CBR1000f. Its been a long old two years, well nearly two but man I am ready for the full power of my bike. I you are a biker in my position, I bet you cannot wait to be de-re!!! Laters!!!

    Enjoy the lack of restriction when the day arrives, but take it easy as the CBR thou will have about four times the power you've been used to for the past two years, plus a heap of torque that you've yet to experience so it'll get you up to speed way more quickly than you've been accustomed to so keep an eye on your braking distances and don't give it too many beans out of corners in low gears!
    Oh yeah, your face will ache from grinning too!

    Cheers Scotty for the tips. I once owned the 1000f's little bro, the 750 Hurricane and that was a rocket for an 87 bike. As for the grin factor, im going to have cheek bones made of steel haha.

    Can't believe it's two years Tom.

    As said, it's the braking distances that first catch you out. Because it gets up to speed quicker, you suddenly find yourself approaching things a lot quicker. Brake early...
