I sat on one a couple weeks ago and it was like that one car commercial (Nissan maybe?) where the people touch the car and they're transferred into this frenzy of speed and furry.

Awesome.

Was this the one I rubbed my balls on at Munroe?  If so, sorry for the paint scuffs dude!  ;D

First,  Nice bike!

Second,  Given your history of accidents on the S4R I hope you listen to the advice you've been given and let the bike "show it's stuff" on the TRACK.  I'd have to second your doctors request to not see you - or in my case read about you -- binning it again on the road.  This Stallion will get you in trouble much faster and with more dire results.

Get some track instruction and then go use that bike for what it was built for.  Ride hell out of it.

2005 S2R -- Mods installed: DP termi full racing kit, ST4 Forks, S4R rear shock, 999 Radial Brake and Clutch MCs, 4 pot Brembo Calipers, 320mm Snowflake rotors, SBK Quick change carrier, 43T rear sproket, Tomaselli Clip Ons, Cyclecat Frame Sliders, ASV Levers, zero indicators, Supernova taillight

JDS 07 S4Rs

Sheeeesh. I can think of alot less expensive track bikes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but,,,,,,that would be a perfect track bike. Definetly not one that you will get to comfortable on with your stature on long rides. Different bars might help.

If it was mine,,,,I would hope that I was in a position,,, where if I tossed it away in a corner,,,that the thought of loseing a 30+ K bike wouldnt bother me to much.
If it was mine,, I would ride it everywhere I could  [thumbsup]

I can tell from my 1st easy ride that it's got way too much stuff for playing road racer on . Any way I'm not suppose to be a road racer any more.

Wow....Unbelievable bike!!!  [clap]

Bayliss would be proud!!   ;D

The fact that the 1098R power-wheelies effortlessly in 3rd scares me.. (in a good way of course..  [evil] )
Scares me !
