That roadway doesn't look ideal for a street bike. Is that a short trail off the main road?

Well, there's sports bikes and them there's sports bikes. I wouldn't want to do 300 mi on a Yamaha R1 or Ducati Panigale 1299. Those are pure racing machines with a very aggressive, forward leaned seating positions.YourGrandpa wrote:I'm just curious about how comfortable sports bikes are after long rides, 150 miles / 243 km one way?
True. Let me add that there wasnt any on the road, just a bit of gravel on that run off area. Just have to make sure not to immediately pin it when riding away.YourGrandpa wrote:Lots of rock and pebbles can be hazardous to a street bike.

Well he DOES ride a harley...
Speaking of Harley, I went to several bike shops recently whilst shopping for a new ride and one of them was the honda/harley dealership here in town. It's really surprising how bad the service was there. They had like 20 - 30 different Harley's all on display and not a single honda sports bike. The only bike they even had was a 4 year old VFR tucked away in the back room collecting dust. When I asked about ordering one the sales guy basically tried to make me feel like I shouldn't be buying a sports bike which is why they don't have them in stock. Terrible service. Especially since I bought my last last bike from them! They were just as idiotic last year when I was buying a dirt bike so I guess I won't be buying from them again.
