    I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

    nah, just read reviews, no way would I do it justice on the road, but on the track she'd be one hell of a ride I reckon.

    I've ridden a few ks on an R6. Beautifully put together machine, but be careful if you do get it. They are blisteringly fast, light and responsive and being a modern sportsbike the speed is very deceptive. That is, take it really easy for the first few months until you get thoroughly used to it. It's very easy to be lulled into a false sense of security by a bike like that. They're not too bad comfort wise either.

    No worries. Yep, and even during the run in it'll be very fast. When I first got the Daytona I surprised myself on many occasions by the deceptiveness of a new bike, having ridden older ones before that. The issue you will find is that because they are so fast and smooth and quiet, your sensation of speed is negligible. So that means that when you approach a corner which you would normally have a good feel for on your old bike, you will suddendly realise that you are travelling a lot faster than your senses would have you believe. That's what you need to take into account and be ready for.

    cant say i know how it feels, but will have respect for the amount of power these bikes can produce. mabey i need a full race system so i can hear how fast i am going?
