I do but this bike is just flat out easier to ride. I’m even finding it easier to throw around the twisties. Probably because I’m far more comfortable. I think I’m keeping this bike and I’ll get a S1000RR down the road.

Nice bike. Rode one when I was in Florida for bike week a couple years back, this thing needs a steering damper bad!
