Yea mate.. wind it up into the upper bracket and you really need to tuck in and hang on... I get most of my fun between 80 -130... (track of course..cough) seldom ride above that... the quality of the susp, slipper clutch and sometimes brakes come into their own... enjoy

Hello Oli, thanks for the welcome. My riding at the moment is on the roads, my previous bike was an R6 which i would do track days on, once get get used to the RR next year i will track it 
i live near silverstone and done gp track days on the 600 and got eaten alive on the straights so want some payback time!! What sort of riding do you do ?

I'm a road rider 99.9 % of the time (mixture of commuting and weekend blasts), although I do enjoy the, very occasional, track day
Would love to do more track days in future though!
R6's are great bikes, several on here have come from R6's and everyone raves about their sublime handling.
My RR was my first litre sportbike too, I had a Triumph Daytona 675 R before.
I am certain once you get fully acquainted with your SThou you'll have no regrets, on road or track!
Only thing you won't like is how quickly rear tyres wear out lol!
