F4 1000S 1+1 review
A beautiful machine finally gets the power output it deserves and now goes as well as it looks

Pros
998cc engine deserving of its home, excellent manners, divine outline
Cons
Do yourself a favour: buy the single seater 'S' model and leave the missus at home - you'll both be happier!
Identical to the F4 1000, but easily identified by the pillion pegs and seat. Looks about as comfy as a plank - albeit a 180mph plank.
