That I can really relate to! To make it worse for me, the one I was on had the speedo set up for mph, and you know that here we're in kph--so numerous times I would look down and see a given number, and then do the "double-take" and do the instant translation and go "oops"....

I can't imagine how it must be like on a Hayabusa or something else zonkers like that.

its fun that you got to ride one though, I agree, the engine sounds are so different than fours that its a real delight (though like I said, the things a wrist killer).

safe riding
