I have a rs125 and your not far wrong. But it is easily as small as a 2006 era R6 I'm 5,11 and it's a good fit. Really comfy on long rides but not to much scooting ass back room so I would say 6ft is the hard limit.

i am very excited for you, on the ride back to locking it up i must of been into the triple digits and as i was coming off the A12 on the ramp i was banging it down the box with it closed, no clutch and the noise on the downshifts was enough to make me actually burst out laughing like a psyco.

I'm the same mate but my commute is so short now it's not worth starting the bije so I use my van. Hopefully he'll sort you out he's done plenty of cans for people on here . My track bike runs a scorpion race can and he sorted a baffle out no problem. MHP for those interested

So after Adams suggestion to see MHP for a custom baffle i finally went and picked up the yoshi,
so it has 2, one removable on the front and one in the link pipe which is also adjustable, he said that its so adjustable it can make it run really really quiet but completely kill the performance, going to fit it today and give it a noise test. really good service from MHP

just did a 250mile round trip to pick up some parts for a 93 SL500 i just got, only small so i took the V4. surprising how bloody comfortable this was, cruise control is a godsend especially on motorways, i know i have said it before but even in really hot weather the bike hardly gets hot, in comparison to the twin duc especially, which would of roasted my legs and nuts to death. |

Nice one Jimmy.
Love it I’ve not managed to head out as we have a new puppy taking up all my free time. My Tuono runs hotter by comparison with 2500 miles on it still. |

Launch control sounds hilarious must try it. I'm currently riding around on a 21plt 765 street triple which I'm selling for my father in law and I can't believe how bikes have changed. I'm so used to pre 2010 machines and they have developed so much. I can only imagine how good those new apes are!

Mine hasn’t the valve currently as it’s the straight though race Akrapovic but it may do if I fit the legal titanium version I also have.
Yet to try launch control….firstly not really read up on it and secondly I’d forget how to programme it when out 😅

yeah mate, when in neutral hold the Plus and minus Traction control buttons on the left clip on until the clock turns orange, and then hold the clutch smash her into first and do what you gotta do, lights up like a Christmas tree,
my mrs drives a really and i mean really fast tuned up car, it feels 10x more insane than that.

Compared to the manual Jimmy, you just made it sound simple 😁
Will give it a go on some warm tyres
