[QUOTE="GeorgiaRoller, post: 1010270, member: 27791"] Just thought I post about my wife's recent comments on riding the Ninja. Again she rode a HD for 7yrs so a sportbike has been completely different for her. I had her read some specific articles from the book [URL="https://www.amazon.com/Proficient-Motorcycling-Ultimate-Guide-Riding/dp/1889540536"]Proficient Motorcycling[/URL] on handling, cornering..etc. She figured out last month that she can ride the curves much more confident & faster by crouching over her tank as apposed to sitting up straight like she's always done on a HD cruiser. It was nice to see her say that and see the light go off in her head with regards to making this seemingly simply ride position change. Where before she was riding 45mph curves right at 45mph only, she now seems confident in taking them at 60mph...which for her is a big improvement. Her bike obviously could take them much faster & has a ton more lean angle ability...but I just want her to ride safe, confident & at whatever pace she is comfortable with. But it's nice to see her starting to progress in riding this new style bike. Here's a shot of our bikes last weekend on a Sunday morning ride I took with my Cell Phone.
