learning how to ride a supersport the way it was supposed to be ridden is a completely different challenge. one that i am still months away from.
It's a lot longer than months away...that's when you'll likely have more confidence than skill, and be more likely to crash.

Awesome looking bike, be careful!

Nice bike...the rims stripes are the killer, don't know why but it makes it stand out for some reason. Hmmm, if I was better at laying graphics I might get some stripes for mine

Nice machine. I've owned several street bikes through the years but never a sport bike. I've wondered about the comfort of riding one of these machines for extended periods of time. Here's my question; How long can you ride a sport bike before you begin to experience sever discomfort in your shouders/neck/back/butt/wrists? I'm considering the YZF-1 for its more upright riding position. I'm an old geezer and can't take the sport bike's demand on my old body.

Here's what you need....I can ride it all day, and it will keep up w/ anything on the streets.
