    I found some great reviews of that bike on the internet, by the way.

    ‘Practical power’ was the drift of it. It has an optional ‘comfort’ seat, apparently, which some say is a useful upgrade.

    Glad it's interesting for you too! Yeah it's one of the most powerful naked bikes out there. It has the engine from the r1 which is one of the fastest race bikes there is, but they detune it and give it more low end grunt so, unlike an r1 or r6, you don't have to rev the tits off it. Torquey - Mt standards for masters of torque. It'll wheelie in 4th at 70. I'm sure it'll scare the crap out of me for a long while yet. The abs, traction control and variable throttle ride modes should help keep me upright.

    I did precious little practical research (like seat options you mention) before buying it, oddly. I looked at loads of reviews but most were quite high level. I'll keep it mostly stock initially and look at modding later (most people do it eventually).

    Autonomous bikes huh. Not sure I see the point - in an autonomous car you can read the newspaper in bad have a nap /meal. Bikes are supposed to be fun.
