My decision to buy a Six was based purely on that and had nothing to do with chasing status. Yep, like I said there are drivers like you out there with enough skills and experience to handle a Plus 6 well and safely. I suppose I'm painfully aware of my own limitations as the years go by (The older I get, the faster I was) and when I see the reports of Plus sixes being written off seemingly by over-enthusiastic application of the throttle I do wonder whether they are a bit much for the average driver. Remember back in the 1970's when bikes like the Kawasaki 750 two-stroke triple (and other Japanese bikes with powerful engines and flexible frames) got a reputation for being a bit too wild for the average rider? We all wanted one but deep down we knew that if we were to actually ride one it might prove a bit unwise.

... and definitely a lot more fun to drive than the manual Plus 4, My decision to buy a Six was based purely on that and had nothing to do with chasing status. The Plus 4 long ratios took some of fun out of the drive for me... You should have tried a Plus Four auto - ratios are much better than the manual, which is also slightly detuned compared to the auto.

The steering wheel is exactly the same as on Tarka.... As is most of the dash, including the AirBag door.... Evolution or Reincarnation?
