New 5th Gen owner (1 month) and slower than a small truck?

For shit sakes kid do you only have a week to live? Get the chalk off those OLD tires and relax a bit. Slow down and learn at a proper pace. Relax...
I get it though. Dont think I dont. Every curve is the next adventure. But if you push too hard too fast you will crash. Are you willing to crash?

PS: I LOVE my Dunlop Q3's. Bike feels like a GSXR.

 

Richard, you sound young and not to experienced, with your questions, was just woundering how old you were? Not putting you down at all just wanted to know how long you've been riding?

 

Chalk was for curiosity didn't really push that hard. See first post for age, km travelled and years & courses

 

4...got it.....good luck....may I suggest some dirt riding...teaches counter steering and a whole lot more. Kenny Roberts used to use 100cc dirt bikes at his ranch to train his roadracers. ...just a thought

 

About 10000km of riding the strom on gravel/ dirt. Insults aren't constructive. I think you are mistaking my enthusiasm for my first sporty bike for other things.

 

OK, not tryin to insult by any means. ...good luck

 

Remember what I said early on growler. A lot of folks here have ample experience. When we read things that look like bad ideas, you will get responses that might not be what you are looking for or thought you would get.

This reminds me of a great saying I learned in the Marine Corps. Be mindful that your exuberance and enthusiasm can come across as "good initiative, but a bad idea". :smile:

VFr's are the perfect bike for Tasmania because they have 2 heads

 

Thats why I bring a gun to a crowbar fight.
