It doesn't have the agility, brakes or handling of a Fireblade, but that is about as wrong as you can get. I have rode a Blackbird, and though it was meaty, still went well when it picked it's skirts up, and more than well enough for road. The worst handling bike i ever rode, was a Bandit 600, like it had a carrier bag of dog**** hanging off each bar.
