The GT 750 may just be nostalgia but I really did enjoy the smooth power of two ZX14s, it's just that age overtook me and needed something more comfortable. ...

Ahhh .... nice to see a YT viewer join us on the Forum. Double welcome. Big Grin

Yes, the RS will likely never match the 4-cylinder bikes (with balance shafts) for smoothness and it might not have the same "rush of power" feel but it does have a nice rush of power and is pretty smooth due to its balance shafts. The S1000R I had was nice and all but it was not the smoothest 4 cylinder out there and the RS had a softer smoother feel.

Hi, I agree the RS has plenty of torque and power and only loses out at the insane speeds the ZX-14s were capable of, But it's enough for me these daysBig Grin It is not as smooth but even my wife has got used to it now. One strange thing is I thought I would get more miles out of a set of tyres but not the case I still only get 6 to 6500! I put this down to the considerable torque. (Dunlop Road Smart III)
