Ah, 'speed'...it is a human condition to embrace and enjoy the sensation.
A good local MSF course is worth taking, imo. I reload on one every few years; have taken about a dozen over the course of my riding time, though they weren't offered way back in the old days. Wish they had been. It may seem like taking 'driver education' again, but I learn something every time I do the MSF course, or at least brush up on skills...
ake: I wasn't dissing the R6, as I really like any brand/model of two wheels with an engine under my fanny. But, "I just want something fast and that wont kill me on turns"...is a vague and hopeful tick list for m'cycle shopping, imo.
Going 'fast' on nearly any motorcycle is relative, but most bikes will walk most cars up to the scoot's top speed. And, riding curvy roads/carving corners is exhilirating, but tiring over time due to the focus & narrow attnetion, that must be paid.
Sometimes a smooth, 'easy corner' half day ride is more enjoyable than an hour of carving corners. Maybe I am just getting old(er), and am fully aware of my expiration date getting closer, but I too often see riders here in our Mtns that thought they were much better than they are, that have gone down or high sided on some of our fabulous two lane blacktops.
NEway, no lecture, but long winded. When you go sled shopping, I am sure there will be a few of us with 'opinions',
