Cheers gents,
Well its all starts from about 4,000 revs. At that point all hell brakes loose torque and hp, induction noise hammers into your ears and the everything around you just stops moving - you blink and you're there.
Otherwise keep the revs down and your comfortably cruising with low end exhaust grunt. It has a rock solid idle when warm up and is perfectly behaved. On over run pops and bangs. It feels like it's not so much going forwards but pulling the world backwards.
The geo setting have worked a treat, still need more B-roads to tell.
There's just this sense of bullet proofness to the engine, it does not fuss or feel edgy. Just constant, muscular/ like a train. The engine just has this constant feeling of I'm not fussed - I'm hear when you need me and happy strolling.
The PMO are immediate, great throttle response. Can't imagine what the flat-slides will be like. Can't imagine what a more aggressive cam would be like.
It needs some more shakedown miles to make any more niggles show up.
I'll make a video in little bit.
