Sorry to hijack the thread Tony Shaw but since the title is appropriate for me too....
New in my shed - a mate's Pantah 500SL that I got going for him and tuned, then bought it off him and recommissioned to road worthiness. She's just on the road. Have to say that my rebuilt twin F05's are pretty shite compared to a single F08. I've got new pads to put in, will have to try them and I guess braided lines would probably make a difference. She's an ex track bike, the exhaust note can probably be heard 1km away, she sounds pretty meaty! Great to ride around the hills in my area.
They are supposed to have a fairing on the front with a rather large windshield but I prefer the look of it without the fairing. So far what I've noticed riding it (I've only had a couple of decent goes) is that it's not as flick-able as the R65. But I'm only just starting to try some 'spirited' riding, compared to being well used to what the R65 can do (which I quite often leave some of my mates behind on the tight and twisties)
