This bike is the fuckin devil. It feels as nimble in the corners as my 600RR and if you have ever ridden a 07-10 generation RR, you know what I am talking about. The shit just holds.
This was a unescorted ride and basically gave me full reign. The bike just goes, I have ridden a 06 1000RR and a 05 gixxer 1000 and there is no comparison between those two and this one. The bike has power on top of power. My 600RR is a joke. Brakes are Brembo, nuff said. This one was full out, it had traction control, I don't know if I triggered it, but I had no slips and didn't get it hot enough in the corners for it to be an effect, so I have no comment here. ergos are amazing, the bike just fits me like a glove. It feels right. Only negative is the can is going to be used as a heel guard. The demo bike had scuffs already and it wasn't even at 100 miles yet. If there is a bike that could get me back on a sportbike, it's definitely this bike. Too bad I can't afford the GS and this bike, I would have both, but I don't want to give up my GS. I rode it home from the dealership and still love it more, but I am considering selling the DRZ and picking up a track mule. ![]()

I've sat on one and really liked the feel, can't wait to actually ride one.

If you're a fan of the SuperDuke - I highly recommend the StreetFighter. It's a shit ton more power and better suspension.

I'm a fan of the V twin, and can't afford a ducati. Plus the KTM dealership is closer. ![]()

Consider that the Duck has an advantage of 200-cc worth of displacement, it better have a shit ton more power. As far as better suspension goes? I doubt it.

Take over the world? The bike is definitely in demand, but the production capacity isn't there. I bet even the ZX10R will outsell it
