Yep, the 500R is general purpose. I've been experimenting with how to minimize lean angle while maintaining speed in turns and I've never had a scary moment - there are no surprises in this bike... except my constant amazement at how fast it is. To be perfectly honest, I've done everything with this bike except take it to the track, and I've certainly put it through it's paces on the road... the thing that kills me is, if I move up to a bigger bike, I'm not gonna be able to do everything! Drives me nuts and makes me appreciate my baby!
