Fz09.. comfortable... but that stock throttle is twitchy... tried all three ride modes and all were scary sensitive

r1 sounds amazing... great throttle response, but just uncomfortable to me... felt like I was sitting on top the bike instead of part of the bike, with my hands down by my knees.

didn't hop on a third bike... just ran out of time and had to head home
Yamaha has a new ecu reflash free under warranty. Fixes all the twitchyness/harshness. Everyone loves it now. Getting mine done somtime next week.

Really? Marthy you done this? that would be a big difference for me on this bike. Still wouldnt have fairings but would solver half the problems.

I actually like the riding position of the R6 better. But, it's easier to get fatigued if you have poor posture b

This is the part where i repeat no super sport is comfortable, its just a matter of whats most bearable. :)
i cant even sit on the R6 for more than a few minutes before my back and butt are asking me what the hell i am doing, never mind actually be on the road. Course im old and my backs even older lol.

28 days until the Motorcycle Show in Long Beach, you can demo ride just about any bike there. Harley, Indian, Can Am, Yamaha and Kawasaki were all there last year.
