Looks cool but be careful

 

[daltmeyer]

I forgot to list in my bullet points that it has 3 modes of operation.

A mode
Std mode
B mode

B is rain mode and ill be using that often especially getting to know the machine and getting my 2 wheeled skills sharpened back up.

Std and a mode are full hooligan but b mode is calm and predictable as a tractor. My test drive went well and the bike was at the top of my short list.

That FZ-09 looks good too. may have to test one.

 

[Benggolf]

Wow, that FZ-09 looks so inviting! Maybe I'll go check it out when it's sunny and dry.

Very nice choice. It looks sleek and fast. I am pretty easy when it comes to motorcycles. I never met a ride that I did not like! :thumbup:

 

[daltmeyer]

I drive it home tomorrow from Columbus. Fun times! Weather conditions cooperate please!

Street fighter powers activate!

 

[daltmeyer]

Right foot got hot... Some things never change...

 

[bruiser]

Looking at the location of the pegs I can see why.

 

[daltmeyer]

I shouldnt joke like that but couldnt help myself. Awesome, awesome machine!

Very fun ride. I found myself needing to remember a few key things:

Put foot down at stop.
Front brake right hand
No ABS
No traction control
No wheelie control
No stability control

 

[Bob Denman]

Don't forget the "Put foot down at stop", one... :shocked:
Lots of luck with it!! :thumbup:
