Thanks for the inspiration RJ, after i started watching motovlogs (especially yours) i went from no license to full license in 3 months. Riding is fucking amazing, and it's given me something to live for. Screw being stuck in a tin can on your way to your concrete cage, now i'll have fun at least twice a day come rain or sunshine.

If you remove it's best to fit a PCV and a remap, before the pcv, accelerate hard and I would say, quick, after tuning, accelerate and I would say, holy shit. You can see the dyno graphs on my website.

Beautiful bike. I'm in the process of deciding if I want the extra expense of monthly payments to own something so amazingly savage, yet supremely usable. Every summer I travel the US and North America on a Honda VFR, and I too find that 150(ish) miles between stops is about perfect. The five minutes the entire process takes is a great refresh, and (as important) an easy way to tell if more rest is needed.

Bhp = brake horsepower, which means the amount of power (HP) produced and measured at the engine's crankshaft. So the brake or net or crankshaft horsepower rate is always bigger than the wheel (true) hp. As a result, you can't legit say "160 bhp on the wheel". Btw nice video and phenomenal bike.
