Sure I've mentioned it before, but when I test rode the Triumph Explorer (1200) I nearly binned it pulling away for the dealers. (Didn't crash, did purchase)
Insane power in 1st, took me a week to get the hang of not wringing it's neck.
Coming from a ~60bhp 700 V twin, that I had mastered the art of 'lots of throttle, lots of the time' I had to relearn to be gentle on a bike with over twice the power.
