Re: 06 R1 ride...

LOL one big thing people forgt to do is adjust the bike when they test ride- you do that to your own and even small things can do wonders like adjust the throttle cables to reduce stickeness. Dont do that and it will be jerky same if you are rideing in the cold in super dry weather etc.

Weak low end change the track orented gearing and change do you really need a bike that shifts out of first at 110?

I have ridden the non LE at the track and in anger at the track after helping to set up the suspension. Insanly good suspension anfter sorted and much quicker turning than the 05 600RR though the 600RR was a bit smother over bumps as long as you were not cranked over. RR was too vaigue to push at full lean so I could not really set up the suspension for that. May have just needed better tires it still had the stock ones though they were still fresh. It would be a good bike on a diet and more rear ride hight to make it turn.
