Thing is there not so "notorious" to be fair,at there release a mad French journo had an off breaking both ankles then a couple of poms planted themselves as hedgerow markers the media got into it and the rest is history
depends what motorcycle mags you read back in the day,Alan Cathcart rode on on track and wondered what the fuss was about saying "ive had more head shake on a GSXR" storm in a tea cup
had mine since 2000 and never once has it had a moment despite some pretty hard riding both on track and road.The bike in clip won plenty of events in British hill climb series both in that form and with no charger fwiw.Always had a chuckle re the TLs reputation lets not forget it won IBOTY back then,fwiw have ridden plenty of Rs and always considered the S a better bet not such a big top end but of little interest on the good roads.
