I bought my 2011 speedy in February to replace my r1 thinking I need to slow down a bit,thing is it seems to be so easy to use its only when on familiar roads I've looked at speedo and got a surprise,I've deffo not managed to slow down was on a run to stranraer/sandhead about 200 mls and it handles and brakes that well its so easy to lose track of how quick you can make progress,weather last week was superb a great run down to caravan some cracking roads in stranraer area.
I went from a sports bike to the ST as its more comfortable but like you have said its very easy to cover distances just as fast, lets hope we get a nice summer
if I have enough cash left after selling my zrx gonna try and buy single bike trailer,some great roads down stranraer way next to my static seen loads of bikes last time I was there.
