Hi Everyone,
I've just sold my Evo III 750 and am awaiting Spring to arrive here in the UK to take delivery of a new F4 1000. I've read most of the magazine test reports and what have you regarding the superior performance of the 1000 or Mille or F5, whatever you wish to call the larger capacity bike. The $64,000 question is of course, have I wasted my money or have I grabbed a slice of legend? I know it would be hard for anyone to admit if they genuinely thought the bigger machine wasn't that much better and all the reports seem to indicate that it is indeed a far superior package to the 750. I'm not Valentino Rossi however, although I've been riding road bikes over 30 years now and did a fair bit of production class racing in my 20's (that's my 20's, not the 1920's by the way!).
If you have upgraded from the 750 to the Thou, I would be grateful to know what you think either way. Thanks for being candid,
john
