I have a set of rear sets and a pair of stubby levers for one of these that will be up for sale. I like the rear sets but they’re race shift and that’ll end in tears.

Actually, they’re no brand Chinese stuff. If anyone wants them for free you can have them.

Indeed it does. I'm sure you will be very happy with your new purchase. I would be if it was mine.

Done about 30 miles. Better in every way. Wouldn’t swap back if you paid me.

Good god yeah, miles better. I’ve never felt at home on a bike so quickly while still having so much fun.

There’s some snatch in the throttle I guess but better than nearly every other Fi bike I’ve ridden. The engine is epic. It loves to be wrung out and revved. The front feels light under acceleration but not flappy (wheely control on I assume) and so planted under braking and turn in. The whole chassis was just rock solid and I was no where near what it could do but still overtaking other bikes.

It’s the first day and I like all bikes on the first day. But normally i come home with a list of improvements I’m going to make but aside from finding a baffle I can’t think of a thing I’d change.

Oh man… the engine noise and quick shifter. You giggle till your tits fall off.

Very happy.

It’s pretty close but yes, I think so.

Just took the rsv out for an hour. I honestly don’t know which one is more fun. I do know which one is more hard core and bloody uncomfortable though. Great bikes.
