But.....could you ride a 600cc to it's full potential...yet you have a 1000cc. Just saying it's not that crazy an idea to have a non track bike with lots of power.
Plus, aren't you like 25 years old? You got plenty of time till you get to FOG status....guess I hit it next year if it is 40
Damn in my 20's I doubt I ever cared about comfort on a bike....was all about gaining skills to get better.
I do like the S1000XR though; seems fun to ride
