Hmm that's a good perspective that I wouldn't have though of. Sucks that you got pulled over. How fast were you going, did you get a ticket or did the cop let you off? Also what kind of close calls have you gotten into?
And I guess that's partially good about not having been able to go WOT yet, it is a bike that is ultimately designed to dominate on a track so you gotta figure you wont ever be able to push it to it's limits on the street. I think it would help you keep a certain level of respect for the bike, make it feel a little sexier to ya as well you know? Like a girl that has a wild side that you know just how to unleash, but only if you're feeling wild enough yourself to unleash her.
Then again, it could feel like a large chunk of money spent on something you can only really use at 75% of it's max.
Did it feel strange moving to the different body positioning from the 250? Did it take long to adjust?
Sorry for all the questions, just want some more info since I'm so interested in the bike myself.
