I'll be honest, I have no idea lol. It was my buddy's new bike. It was in B mode, I hopped on it and ran it down the road a couple miles. Shifting gears at 10k rpms and I was amazed how fast it got there. Of course, this was the first 1000 supersport I've been on. The front end got light, but I don't think it got off the ground (The FJR did a few times during our ride ) That was the highest rearsets I've ever used, no way I could ride one very far without getting in better shape. Here's a pic from our ride.

My uncle was involved in a head on accident with a van. He broke his back in 3 places as well as a collapsed lung, several broken ribs, and internal bleeding. Recovery was almost a year, but he is now healthy and riding more than ever. Prayers for your friend and his family.

Rode a 2015 R1 this afternoon. I don't think I will be trading in the FJR anytime soon. I was truly amazed how much power that bike has.

Warm soapy water is the only thing I've ever used on a helmet. That bug slide stuff does work good on fairings and windshields though.

A good friend of mine is wanting to get rid of his first bike after one summer of riding. Apparently sitting inside playing video games is more fun. I feel like I failed to show him how great motorcycle riding is. He never made it to a curvy road, only 300 miles on a brand new R3.

Just passed a KTM Superduke on Sharpsburg hill. That bike sounds amazing.

The hours just fly by when your in photoshop all day. Good thing my office doesn't have windows. I'd be staring at my bike in the parking lot.

When I was 16, I had Geico. They seem to be the cheapest for teens. I now have Progressive, nothing wrong with Geico, just a better deal.

I have since adjusted my chest mount since the video, it sits up higher now. I really like Smatree products for gopro. Cheap, and their quality is nice. Here is the harness I have. http://www.amazon.com/Smatree-Adjustable-Harness-Aluminum-Thumbscrew/dp/B00CU9YBVS?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00

I've tried a few mounting options. Bicycle Handlebar mount to crash cage: Ram Mount To Steering Stem (Need a longer Ram Mount Arm): Chest Mount (My favorite Mounting, Very Comfortable):

This is why Craigslist doesn't have a comment section for each ad. It would be full of people arguing. I see people trying to sell bikes on craigslist at outrageous prices, and I just think, I am glad no one can put their 2 cents in every time like youtube.

I think you will see Uverse morph into a DirectTV product since AT&T bought DirectTV. In my area, Time Warner has always worked great. I have buddies with DirectTV, and they lose signal everytime it storms. Of course I work for Suddenlink (Cable Company) so I am biased with my fiber at 800 Mbps internet. Too bad it doesn't reach to my house...

No, I was comparing ST to ST. SS tires are for light sport bikes/track days IMO. My heavy bike would destroy SS tires due to their not made for that kind of weight. I've chattered the rear with Angel GTs on my BMW and the FJR, but mainly due to stupidity.

Let's be honest with ourselves. The feeling of new tires is awesome, so why wait 10k miles to get that feeling again. I understand they aren't cheap, but i'd rather have a better performing tire than a longer lasting tire that might not perform as well.

PR4s or Angel GTs are both amazing tires and you will be happy with either one.

I'm in the same boat. I really wanna try PR4s but their in a different price bracket compared to the Pirelli's.

I'm on my 4th set of Angel gt's. Stick really good. The fjr toasted it's stock battlax's in 4k miles. At 4k miles the Pirelli's are half tread.

It's sad, but some people buy bikes and don't ride them. I've met people who have been "Riding for years" and never had more than a 100 mile day.

Welcome!

Great looking bike!

My dad has a tire changer. We have a couple sets to change this week. We've patched/plugged tires before, I just want piece of mind of having a new tire. It turned out to be an allen wrench broke off in my tire. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?

You can only wrestle with a pig in the mud for so long before you realize the pig likes it...

I was all ready to go for a ride. I drop the bike off the center stand, and the rear tire is completely flat. Didn't take 30 seconds to find the piece of metal in it. There goes $200...

Great looking bike!

Once you ride a big Sport tourer, you will be sold.
