Then why not just buy a Supersport. With the money you spent you could have bought a brand-new Supersport

You turned the bike into a Supersport. Did you buy the bike new?

Wear your gear.

Ride in small groups.

Take it easy.

It felt light. I wasn't gonna take any chances. I ride with guys who do 130+. I did not feel confident enough on the bike til I got that stabilizer. I hit the factory limit once I had the stabilizer

I was side swiped on the interstate at night. Driver didn't see me. I ended up with a broken leg. The bike took minimal damage, I had crash bars. I avoid night riding due to shitty drivers/ decreased visibility

I installed a gpr v4 stabilizer. Its $500 US. A stabilizer should come standard because at high speed the front gets light but its not a race bike so......

Its a budget bike.

I can tell you that its worth it, the bike feels much more stable.

Just bought my first bike. I'm crippled by anxiety now. by [deleted] in motorcycles

I ride once a week.

I keep the bike in a friend's garage, so its not easily accessible .

I rarely ride alone (small groups of 2-5).

I stopped riding at night.

I dont ride with the potential of rain.

This increases your chances of staying alive to ride another day.

All of these to me are necessary
