Halfway through changing the spark plugs I got so fed up with the lack of space for the wrench that I decided to pull the AIS module entirely and order block off plates. Love the bike but damn did Yamaha do a great job making sure it's a ***** to work on.

Just got back from riding... It's ****ing cold as ****... The CBR is a scary fast bike, like...holy **** fast... It's so nice though. I am very glad that I started on a smaller bike and worked up, I would've wrecked a bigger bike within the first week of owning it.

Next fall of so i may look into one of the old man aerostich suits. At that point can pretty much ride whenever.
But hoping the car just works at that point. I should just sell it and ride year round. |

What did you have before the 1000rr? The first time I went out on a literbike I realized that full throttle on my 600 was barely even a third of the way up on the R1. The power is awesome! |

2009 Honda Rebel 250
1979 Yamaha XS750 special
rode a fz6r for a little bit, felt restricted.
I still own the rebel and yamaha (yamaha will be gone soon)
What I noticed on the highway, is the difference in power at various RPM... You don't notice it on the 250 at ALL (in my eyes) But once I hit the 6k range, it's like I hit a boost button or something... Actually scared me a bit.

Liter bikes are awesome.
They are easier to do the speed limit than 600s I think because you can be at milder lower rpms. Easy to go stupid fast but so is on a 600.
My r6 is about as fast as my fz1 though just all top end vs all rpms.

I have heat demon warmers on my bike. Same concept but they go under the grips and stay on all the time.

45 is my minimum riding temp. Anything below that is too cold for my thin Florida blood.

I don't care how warm my core is, if I'm doing 90 on a 45 degree morning, my fingers get cold even with gloves and warmers.
