Oooo why?
Just dosent have the torque a V twin should have, needs The nuts revved off it and the gearbox worked hard which is weird .Totally unlike my 998s which feels as if it will crease tarmac.
I believe the RC8R is a lot better but havent tried one.

I do know someone who bought cheap at the start of summer and is no longer an owner. They seem to have plenty of room for the larger rider , this one (maybe it was a bad example ) apparently vibrated badly through the rev range and had a few technical issues, . He's back on a blade at the moment..
