the bike has been built and ready to go for about a month and a half now but so far i have only been up and down my driveway, simply because iam kinda afraid of taking it on the road. Number of reasons: cops. traffic, stupid people etc. Neways the weather was good today (rare occasion here in canada) and i cant for the life of me find my motorcycle keys and my extra pair is with my friend who left it in her car while it was getting worked on and the shop is closed today so taking my cbr for a ride was a no go. i only took it out for a lil while and actually i didnt even go on the road... i live in the country and there is a gravel road right next to a main road that runs all the way along the actual road. I took it on this gravel road and put on about 10-15kms on it, i tried not to keep it at a specific speed and even opened it up a few times being careful not to go over 30km/h. after that i did some offroading on really bumpy grassy **** which was ALOT of fun, really shook me up. Iam a little bit impressed, it kinda seems like the big design flaw with these bikes is the lack of gearing system. I would imagine the engine siezing in most cases because its revved too high because of gearing. Perhaps next year i might add the jack shaft kit to it. I cant believe u need to break the ******* thing in for 500km, i have a feeling the engine might not even last that long.
It was kinda funny goin on the road with my fullface helm, motorcycle gloves and a racing textile jacket on (i was gonna put the pants and boots on too but decided against it.) I just wasnt sure what to expect and wanted to be ready in case something got stuck and i fell, I guess i'd rather look like a tool than have road rash.
