Ooooh, no more solid black leathers? Have you dragged a knee with the tard' yet? It seems it would be alot harder because of how much higher you sit and the extreme angle you would have to come into a corner with.

they don't have kneepucks or attachments for them so no knee dragging, but i did touch it down one time on 129. you'd think it would be harder but it's actually about the same as on the sportbike, maybe even easier. this thing is ~100lbs lighter than the cbr was so it doesn't feel so much like it wants to fall over in a turn on the low speed stuff. it's very easy to toss around, just felt a little odd at first in transitioning from one direction to the other due to the height and the "bounce" of the suspension but i got used to it as the day went on. never thought i would be running down bikes with 3x the power in the mountains but it just makes it pretty easy especially when running around the squids. i just really want to get some real rubber on this thing, these sport/touring dunlops don't give me that warm fuzzy feeling about grip so i'll probably use some pilot powers or contiforce SM tires next time around.
i can only imagine how awesome that aprilia will be. 70hp and right at the same weight as my bike ~260lbs... and it just looks awesome. but for almost $10k i'll wait until i can find a well used one. one of the guys over on GSB/BSB has one on order (SuperDave).
oooh, you got Shift leathers....I remeber a few months back they were making a big stink about them...once I get back hopefully I'll be able to find a used Aprilia, then we can tard all over town.
