First thing I noticed was first through second gear were pretty slow for the F6B even though it was walking away from the Vic, I believe that is where the time difference came from. I know when I throw the stones to it from first to second gear it will break the back tire free and slide a bit sideways. But feels controlled as a spinning tire can feel. I have felt that on a 1989 Vmax back in the day.All in All I am very satisfied with the F6B in POWER and comfort.
