As a few of you may have seen, I drag race my 765. I bought it as a replacement for my 955i and Exploder both of which I raced previously. When I bought the RS, I was expecting it to probably run around the 10.9 second mark once I got used to it, so was happy when I ran a 10.77 in practice a couple of weeks ago. This weekend in competition I ran another personal best - despite shutting off before the finish line - crossing the line in 10.72. However, being the geek that I am, I have run the numbers through my spreadsheet and working on my times to 1000 feet, had I kept the power on, the bike would have run 10.68 give or take a couple of thousandths of a second. As a comparison, the Speed Triple R that runs in the same class was running 11.23 best (but I have no doubt once Jake gets a handle on the wheelies, he'll also be in the 10s!) Awesome bike. My smile gets bigger every time I ride it!
Exactly the colour dilemma I had, don’t fancy a matte finish and white is a tad lairy (although does look pretty in the flesh). Demo’d a white RS, bought a gloss black one!
I tell everyone that is thinking of buying a Speedie to ride the Street RS before deciding, my view is that the smaller sibling is the better bike ... many won’t agree but just my opinion!
