[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1332824, member: 27852"] I enjoyed this ride report. The pictures seem professionally framed and are very good keep sakes for you - was that included in the price? Also, the cost of this is lower than I expected. Until now, this was absolutely out of the question for fear that it was simply too much money. Now, I would definitely re-consider. I've read some of Code's stuff over the years. His cornering technique is showing loud and clear in your pictures. You don't have to scrape pegs to turn the bike sharply and quickly. Another negative to at least be aware of - your insurance policy might have a coverage exclusion if you crash it on the track, and your Yamaha factory warranty might deny coverage as well (for mechanical/electrical failures). I haven't looked at my current declarations (admittedly), but IIRC, the blanket exclusion says something to the effect of "racing the vehicle in competition". Clearly, this was not competition. I would probably clarify this before deciding on the 1000RR or not. As far as "wear and tear" on the bike - I certainly wouldn't worry about that with the FJR. Thanks for posting your experience.
