I am much more of a hands on learner than abstract, so the experimenting on the bike bit by bit is what helps me the most. Although the abstract topics are helpful, I have a hard time relaxing on the...

That kind of garbage is part of what made me move to the 450 R6. The necessary closure rate on corner entry for a 300 to make a pass on a big bike is super sketchy when the rider in front does the...

Ballpark number is around 70ish. In triple form, it's similar to the SV650. The upside to the triple platform is that you don't have to do all the suspension/front end swaps that the SV guys do. ...
