Its all different points of view. from a roll, the rider is fighting to keep the wheel down and twist like hell.. from a stop the rider is fighting to slip the clutch right and get a good launch.. Different strokes for different folks.. I didnt buy the bike for drag racing so if you want to sit and burn up clutches with people, feel free because it wont be me. I didnt buy the bike to race people with it either and to be completely honest, running a 152hp bike against one thats putting down around 170 doesnt really make sense to me unless the rider is just plain badass of which none of us are, me included.. At the same time that people are talking about dragging in the straights, I could be saying the same thing to them about taking their bikes to hocking hills or the track for the curves..... I ride for fun no matter what bike Im riding and I dont need a straight line WOT run to do it with. Everyone likes to push people buttons for the hell of it but just ride to have fun people..
