I rode a buddy's VStrom and thought it was going to throw me over the handlebars.


I feel an 1125 is in my future.

R or CR??

The slipper works good except when slammed into first. It will still slide it a bit.
It will also let you know when slowing down that it doesn't like to go slow, or run below 4K

I haven't decided yet. I thought the CR, but the R is starting to trip my fancy.

I'd be interested to see if the clubman bars would fit the R to give a slightly more relaxed ride.

That new white is awesome!

The way it looks the clubman bars don't change the position much from the clip ons??
