[QUOTE="bcutler23693, post: 1331240, member: 88649"] Good question... PROS: [LIST=1][*]Gaining confidence on the bike that "I" ride (and not someone else's) [*]Having the opportunity to experience the bike performing as it should (i.e. not sliding and not losing traction and stopping very quickly, etc.). As a rider, especially on twisties, I would always "hope" (and sometimes cringe) that the bike will perform during a sharp curve. Now I "know" it will! [*]Learning the quirks and peculiarities of my bike: EX: The bar risers prevent me from establishing a more aggressive body position. Since the handle bars are closer to me, moving my head from one side to the other (like when setting up for a turn) my helmet bumps into my bar controls and ram mounts. The highway pegs I installed on my canyon cages may scrape before my pegs hit, which is not good (I may need to relocate them). [*]Finally being able to let loose on my bike. Driving around town and on the highways rarely provides an opportunity to "NAIL IT" and just go as fast as the bike will go. And let me tell you...that FJR is scary fast (at least to me). [/LIST] CONS: [LIST=1][*]Wear and tear on the motor, transmission, & drive line. [*]Risk of crashing and damaging my own bike [*]Not being able to drive the fastest production sport bike in the world (BMW S1000RR) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
