FUCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!!!!!!! What a bike!!!!
Power is nothing to write home about compared to the ten but the handling, oh my god, pass me a tissue. It even makes my mates 08 blade feel clumsy and heavy in comparison!
Im not ashamed to say this bike is too good for me but i will keep riding 'til I can do her justice.
Guess what, I fookin' love it!

Yeah, one question! The speedo, does it read low or are all the jap bikes wildly optimistic? Or is there something wrong with mine? Put her on the dyno today. Making 151.49 at the wheel (accurate dyno, not the wildly optimistic Crescent type one) so she's strong enough. Just struggling to see more than 140 on the speedo where the 10 would show 170 ish. Feels about the same speed tho. (private road obviously)

Not sure where the speedo pick-up is on the Katoom but on my Aprilia it's from the back wheel so it is a lot more accurate (read slower) than any jap bike i've owned . The big advantage is you dont need to worry about gearing changes throwing the speedo reading out

Think the pipework might be a little convoluted for 'em. Hang on, you could knock one up for me i reckon! Hows the quickshifter?

WOW very nice bike pal, i'm just getting rid of my modded TLR for my now newly owned 06 10R. I love v-twins and wish mine was like that one. Enjoy the Grunt!
