I kind of miss the need to really work the bike to get it to perform. That was true of the Ninjette. Not so with the GSX-R. Just point and shoot.
But man, is it fun to simply say "I want the bike to be over THERE, right NOW" and it magically happens.
Question: Is your speedo hopelessly optimistic? I haven't tried checking mine but the numbers it gives me are just silly, to the point where I simply ignore it. I don't believe I'm going that fast....
