    How well did you behave yourself on your 1,600 km break-in period?

    I just ride'm like they are meant to be ridden. The only vehicle I followed the break in was on my M3 since the dealer actually checked during the goofie break in BS. They actually told me when I went over X rpm when I picked up the car.

    You can probably relieve some of the strain by making a few slight adjustments to your riding position. Try the following... > Make sure you ride with the balls of you're feet on the rear sets (just behind the toes) > Make sure you raise you're heels so that you're knees are up and...

    Replace helmet?

    Replace the helmet irrespective of any real evidence of it hitting the ground. It is not worth taking a chance and most all insurance companies will agree with you.

    New Ride: gsx-r600

    Nice ride like the colors too! 750 or middle weight bikes I think are the best as well. The right 600ss can be a lot of fun on the street (GSXR or CBR), so arn't that great for street riding. Would have got the GSXR750 but the dealer wouldn't deal, so I got the CBR1000 for 1k less than what...

    We are the last

    I don't think the MT-07 will make it here from Europe any time soon. Unless the MT-09 (FZ09) sells well here, naked bikes don't sell in the US market for some reason, I don't think Yamaha will bring it over.
