    Was great to "Finally" get it on track. Once it's sorted (suspension) I think it will be heaps faster than my 696 mainly due to the extra reach to the bars ...

    Going to have to spend some time playing around because when you compare the 2 bikes the 900's wheel base is (neutral -> rearish axle position) about 2 cm shorter but the reach to the bars feels about 10-15cm longer might have to look at a modified seat on the 700 as the extra reach was nice ... will know more about the feel after Broadford and MacPark both in April where I plan to run both bikes in different classes

    ACTUALLY - the extra reach is comfy but less change of direction leverage ... maybe mid way is the answer
