    can one do a cross country on a super sport ?

    I read it fine - you'll note that I said 2 hours was the top end. He was talking about touring rides, so I suggested that a supersport wasn't ideal for longer haul trips.

    That's what I meant - this bike is certainly not a supersport. It's capable of long haul rides... a good tailbag and a backpack and you're set for a weekend.

    can one do a cross country on a super sport ?

    45 minutes to 2 hours is not a huge deal - I'm talking extended riding, into 4-8 hour block. If you're slumped over a CBR600 RR for more than 6 hours and feeling really spry, you lemme know.

    can one do a cross country on a super sport ?

    No supersport will have the ergos that will allow for effective/comfortable touring. After 2 hours on a supersport - you'll be praying for a bullet. If you want more jam in the right hand and style - I'd suggest a triumph tiger, ducati mulitstrada, honda vfr... possibly a Z1000 or FZ1. What...

    mine came out of china, they may have had to find their one english speaking guy! you'll find a huge difference over the stock ones. the ease of shifting is amazing and your hands don't get as fatigued if you go on a longer ride. Good luck!

    Sorry - didn't notice this until JUST now. They're great, I love 'em. I actually didn't bother to put them on, I just had Yamaha do it when I took it in for service. No complaints.

    Has anyone experimented with a orange HI-Def after dark?

    Got a ticket...

    sounds to me like you just got an overzealous dickhead of a cop... it happens. I honestly doubt he'd even show up if you fought it because he will be well aware that it won't stick and he'll look like a bit of a dummy for issuing the ticket. Love to hear how it turns out - go get 'em.

    Where "to buy" and "Not to buy" dealerships

    For the Ontario folk Both Snow City and Kahuna Powersports have great staff. I picked up my FZ6R off of Andy at Snow City - quality guy, great service. My gf bought her 250 Ninja from Kahuna - also super service there. Can't go wrong with either if you're in the GTA
