I sat on an '06 R1 this morning at the local dealership and...dang, why do they make them things so
fat? I was looking at it and it's really not that wide a bike...until your eyes land on the nose fairing.
I'm with those who say, "Get thee to a track school." Fast in a straight line is okay, I guess...but even Harley guys can do that. Make your bike faster in the corners and life will be happy. Go to a track school and while you're there, get a suspension guru to dial you in. Go to the track
often and wonder why all those rice jockeys are wasting their time doing burnouts and wheelying down the freeway.
There ain't no fun like passing someone on the outside at 120mph.
