I got the 250 out for a successful test run last night. It idles very steadily around 1300rpm and rips nice and smooth up to 10k or so. I was in the neighborhood so I was trying to keep the noise level civilized... these yoshi pipes are way too loud. I'm taking it out for a go in my local canyon route this Friday morning so it will be interesting to see how it handles redline. I'll just be sure to wear my earplugs.

My first observation was that the front springs seem to be the weakest link in the chain. The brakes are great, but they cause a lot of nose-dive when applied so Race Tech is getting some of my money before Spiegler and EBC! One piece at a time... I can't wait until this feels like it's on rails. I know it will do well, it just needs a little love.
