Is that what it is called? Yes, oomph, I think that describes it. Now
why do I already know that the amount of oomph that satisifes me now
is going to become harder and harder to obtain as time goes on and I'm
going to go in search of stronger stuff.

For now, maybe...

Yet, the urge to get something sportier and maybe lighter is growing, a
few more days that make me feel as stressed as today and I may just go
out and buy a Gixxer/Blade/Busa, for the hell of it.

I'd get that moved pretty sharpish from its position halfway up the drive
then, before someone does it for you...!

Congrats though - it'd dead exciting getting your first big bike (even if in
my case it was a GPZ500).

If your wrists are still causing you grief, I'd say it would be a Busa...
why not wait to see if Honda release a new Blackbird?

All tucked in and locked up in the garage after faffing about moving
the kit car, the CG, the push bike, the kids bikes, scooter and
skateboard, a spare wheel and a bunch of crap out of the way.

I only cleared that garage out a few months ago - how the hell do they
get so full of odd stuff so quickly?

If I'd gone the DAS route then this would have been my choice and is
still an option for the future. First bike I pillioned on. When did
they first come out?

It's black. No purple. The shiny, pretty is compared to the CG.

Blade was ok for me, gixxer is giving me a sore wrist which I can't

Holding on too tight? (Note this is not a euphemism, nor a feedline - it's
a serious comment)

Otherwise angle of wrist - in theory you're supposed to maintain as straight
a line as possible between hand and arm.

I've considered that, but not caught myself doing it. I'm putting it down to
getting used to a slightly different position. We'll see, maybe it will
criple me, maybe it'll sort itself out. i haven't done more than 140 miles
in a go yet.

I did 160 yesterday after having not rode the bike in two and a bit weeks.
Today I have a stiff (but thankfully not dead) lower back and slightly stiff
wrists. I do find doing longer rides ends up with me not being able to grip
as well but that usually goes after a 10 minute break.

So yes, I'm sure you'll get used to it, or die.

I had this on the Fireblade, until I realised that I wasn't so much
gripping the whole twist grip too tight, but putting too much emphasis
on resting the palm of my hand/end of my wrist on the bar, taking some
weight through it - I got myself into the habit of moving my hand
slight towards me/clockwise around the bar i.e so that the bit of my
hand parallel to my thumb was on the bar instead, and the pain went
away.

Also consider tha angle of the brake lever. Even when you're not using
it, this will often define the angle of your wrist with the bars. As
it happens, the gixxer's fine for me, but I always check and adjust as
necessary on any bike I'm going to ride for more than a mile or three.

Not sure, you got a pic of yours?
