Quick Roadking

Crikey

Gooooddd, really fucking good...

Having tried a stage II 114ci M8 Breakout last year, I was genuinely surprised at how quick it was in a straight line (and I have owned a Hayabusa in the past). It wasn't so keen on going round corners requiring monster countersteering and mini roundabouts were a nightmare, but in a straight line, off the line it was surprisingly rapid. The bike was also very easy to launch quickly whereas the Busa needs a little more finesse to make really fast progress.

in stage IV tune I suspect it would be very rapid indeed.

In the video the Busa rider gets a poor start so I'm not surprised that the HD was ahead at the line; it would be interesting to see the times from the run though as that might tell a slightly different story.

(just noticed the bike I rode back then is £2k off in the end of season sale...)
