That's insane. A buddy has an 04 1kRR and it doesn't burn anything. He changes the oil maybe once every 8k and the thing still chugs along. Is that street riding or track?

Street. Fucking guy had me worried, too. I was following him through our loop and he went pretty wide exiting some corners.

Gotchya. I'm thinking I may have been pushing him a bit. Any time I get a chance to give a liter bike a chance to pull on me, I let him try. He was all leathered up and shit, too. But I backed off after he busted a couple corners pretty bad.
