Because they let me ride their R1!!! :thumbup:
Went out with 2 guys today just to mess around on some back roads for a little bit.
He waves me over to pull over, and im not sure what he was doing. Gets off his bike and tells me "ride that one". I was kinda shocked for a sec but jumped right on it.
Lets see here...
Impressions.... OH MY F*%$#@! GOD! That thing is a damn rocket ship when you hit 12-14k rpm! I mean, scary warp speed fast! I about ripped my mouth open because I was grinning so much, haha. I always wondered how it compared (speed/power wise) and it just doesnt. Its unbelievable how fast that thing moves.
He rode my bike. Now here is where it gets fun. We hit some twisties. He smoked me on MY bike while I was on his. I've always had it in my head that I might need a faster bike to keep up with some of these guys. I couldnt keep up with a FZ6R on an R1. So that actually made me really happy and gave me a MUCH better appreciation for our bikes!
He really liked the 6R. Said that its a very fun bike. He liked how easy and effortless it was to just dip into a corner. While I was on the R1 it felt a lot harder to get it to lean over into the corners. He also said how great it was that his back and hands felt much better
He let me ride it for almost an hour. Very cool! So I am definitely keeping the 6R for quite a while now. It handles the corners great. Just need to keep practicing on it.
