    On the track? More than you think.

    I have an Ohlins equipped S1KRR. Let me know if you have any specific questions.

    Well. I hate to crash the party, but I think it's ugly as hell. I know the reason for the headlights, but that doesn't make it any less fugly. From what I have read, it is beast but not as beast as the aprilla. I have a reputation to uphold and can't be seen on something that ugly. I would say you couldn't give me one.....but that's obviously not true. I would, however, sell it and get an aprilla.

    i would agree street form it's got some odd design cues, but slap on track bodywork and i like it.

    I may be wrong, but I do not believe Tay has much track experience.

    If someone has one, I want to hear all about it. I rode a dealership's tester last year...it was chipped so you could not wring a lot of power out of it, but god it was still nice. In regards to the track time..nope none at all. If I am posted to Ft. Rucker, that might change though. Who knows at this point though.

    well I am getting the demo model that has all the bells and whistles. what is good about traction control, abs, etc? any dislikes? how is the maintenance on it? I road it once and liked it, but how is it for longer hauls?

    Well here is the bike! The parents are going to talk to the guy tomorrow at the dealer and lay down my $500 deposit on it, and it will be ready for me to get next week when I get home after I commission. I am pretty darn excited
