Uhhh... it's actually 1854cc, sir.
Yeah, I'm still sort of behaving myself on The Beast. Haven't had it up over 80 yet, partly waiting until I log few more miles, partly waiting until it's 18 months since my last speeding ticket, and partly due to the break-in recommendations. I've also been taking it easy on takeoff. The thing feels pretty damn quick - has a ton of power down low, unlike the GZ.
On my first ride out to Cook's (the standard Sunday morning ride around here) it was a whole different experience than when I first took the GZ out there. Partly because I've learned how to countersteer a lot better, and partly because I didn't have to think about shifting at all. Just point it, lean when necesary, and go. Nobody waiting to pass me, and I actually passed a few "real" bikers (at their invitation!)
