Great day for riding. I'm chasing my friend on his 1000cc bike. He is much faster and waits up for me. Still had a good ride. Another guy on a Yamaha joins in the fun. Really no chance up hill. This little bike still has more, I just don't trust these stock tires and not really wanting to go any faster………….yet

I rode with my boss today who has a 2013 R1, he knows I'm much slower top end than I am, but it felt surprisingly comfortable at 100 this morning.

depends where you ride. Get them in some twisty stuff and you should be able to hang better...

^^My buddy is faster under any conditions. Granted I do better in the super tight stuff.. After 30 + years of riding I know when to let the fast guys go. Also he is 100lbs lighter lol. With better tires and correct suspension setup I know I will do better. I was planning on making my 1098 my track bike, but the R3 is going to make it as well. Can't wait
