I pulled up to the light right outside the main gate here on a 55mph road where the average traffic is 70. I look down to witness the odometer roll over to 1000 miles; break-in rev limit over; time to see what this bike can do.
Oh. My. God. This bike is a blast. A really good launch slipping the clutch at about 9 grand, a crisp shift at 14k and I feel the front end float just a bit, 11k back to 14k like a slingshot, and I look down to realize I'm going 85. What a rush.
I really need to take it to a drag strip so I can run a 1/4 mile without having to worry about losing my license and going to jail.
It's a shame the wind is gusting like mad here right now, or I'd be out ridding now instead of typing, but I've decided to put the bike up until the weather chills out a bit this weekend. Watching me ride you'd think I was going through a tight set of twisties just to keep in a straight line. Wind isn't too bad, but strong gusty wind really kills the ride.
