Apart from that can, it's a good looking thing.
Won't be slow either?

Is it actually a smallish, compact, bike? Hence the can looking so out of scale.

When I was racing I had a CB900 alongside the YPVS
1990 CBR600
1994 RF900
1997 ZX6R (lasted 3 days)
1997 ZX9R
All bought new

Park a GSXR1100 next to a GSXR1000 and you'll see how small the 1000s really are.

Didn’t you, the ZX9, and tractor trailer have a bit of an incident - or was that someone else from the VD days?

Well remembered. Coming down the A1 from Mallory and tractor and trailer reversed out of farm at dusk. Just after Weedon.
I was lucky .

Almost anything looks small next to a GSXR1100, the world's fastest barge
