    How old were you when you first rode pillion?

    10 years old, dad took me out on the back of his Triumph Trident and Triumph Boneville. Piss-pot helmet with a clear visor......lol

    Modifications for more mid-range torque??

    Drop sprocket to make it more revvy at the same speed......? Add a supercharger? Hmmm......neither are mid range torque tweaks, both are revvy peak power tweaks. Torque will increase if peak bhp increases at same or lower rpm, but for the wrong reasons.

    I once got a great piece of advice........if enough people tell you that you are dead, lay down. Lol ;) Sounds like my hopes of more torque may be dashed. Don't misunderstand me, I know it's a short stroke rev monster derived from the R6, and it'll never be a grunty V twin.......so I wasn't...

    Modifications for more mid-range torque??

    Not a complaint, more of a minor criticism. And it's the power curve of the motor I'm interested in, not changing the gearing to make an already revvy motor more harsh. A change in gearing doesn't change the power curve.....the bike has enough peak power and revs for me, in fact it's was...
