Yes, if that's what it takes to make you happy!

There's so many excuses for buying a perfect bike! :big grin:

I suppose there's even an "anti-highside avoidance system" fitted as well??

I can honestly say the R1 didn't have one of those....

Same here tho - turn on, flick ignition, wait a bit (til 48-55degC) and go.

No warm ups for me,start them up,10secs,them I'm gone - quietly.The XLV750 requires no more choke after starting,the XT400 has the choke on for about 200mtr,TLR200 jump on and go.The XS1 has always been a problem child,these days it starts on one cyl and the other warms up by friction alone,this takes ages,so as soon as it's a bit stable I get going - the other cyl comes in with load,so it's fine so long as I don't slow down.I could fix it I suppose,but I could a lot of other things that I don't too.
