Kaw 10R

[Ed K]

Any of you guys ridden one of these beasts (Kaw 10R)?

"Many tight portions of California Speedway were ridden in the 10's tall first gear, which carries it to around 110 mph..."

Have not ridden it, but it sounds super-cool. My R1, with lots of mods, will just pull 110 in first, but I usually shift around 80 or so when entering the track...

Would love to ride the new Green Monster!

Bob,

How's the R1 on the street... is the power curve too peaky to enjoy in normal roads and sub-track conditions?

Also, I haven't ridden a sport bike b/4, so can me a sense of how quickly you tire of the position... wrists, back, legs... etc... or is it really not much of problem for someone is good physical condition. I'm about 5' 7" and 135lbs... so I'd prolly have some advantage compared with bigger guys relative to position.

Thanks,
