Test Ride: S1000RR

[Trip]

This bike is the fuckin devil. It feels as nimble in the corners as my 600RR and if you have ever ridden a 07-10 generation RR, you know what I am talking about. The shit just holds.

This was a unescorted ride and basically gave me full reign.

The bike just goes, I have ridden a 06 1000RR and a 05 gixxer 1000 and there is no comparison between those two and this one. The bike has power on top of power. My 600RR is a joke.

Brakes are Brembo, nuff said.

This one was full out, it had traction control, I don't know if I triggered it, but I had no slips and didn't get it hot enough in the corners for it to be an effect, so I have no comment here.

ergos are amazing, the bike just fits me like a glove. It feels right. Only negative is the can is going to be used as a heel guard. The demo bike had scuffs already and it wasn't even at 100 miles yet.

If there is a bike that could get me back on a sportbike, it's definitely this bike. Too bad I can't afford the GS and this bike, I would have both, but I don't want to give up my GS. I rode it home from the dealership and still love it more, but I am considering selling the DRZ and picking up a track mule.
