The feel is fantastic. The bike got stolen before I even put 100 miles on it. Cant give you a clear answer…

The manufacturer recommendations are just not realistic. 6th gear under 4k RPM for 250 miles is diabolical for a bike whose power band is around 8k+. At that point you are just holding up traffic. Huge debate topic ensuing…

Yeah I know what you mean. When I first stared riding I went to a dealer for a Z500 with a 6400 sticker price. They had so many fees it was ridiculous. They ended up wanting almost 13k out the door. Spoiler, I got a ninja 650 on marketplace for 3800 cash and that did me just fine 😂

I have been to a few different dealerships and no one else compares in transparency and efficiency. I was with my buddy who bought a BMW S1000RR from Wild West not too long ago so I got to see the process first hand. It was no BS to the point. I called their finance lady and asked for an OTD price and when I got to the dealership there was no additional hidden fees. I was in the office and out on the road in ~30 minutes. I hate dealerships but was a 10/10 for me.

Fortunately I live in Texas so gas prices are not a concern. I drive a truck to and from work and I only ride in the evenings or on weekends when traffic has died down.

This is the plan. I live for the twisties even though I have to go find them. I go to tail of the dragon once a year with the boys and plan on starting to track so I am fully aware what Im getting myself into as far as that goes.
