No worries about stealing my thunder! Happy to see someone partake in a journey similar to mine. The CBR500R for me seemed like the logical choice, as a first time buyer / rider. Hope to see you on the roads!

I really love it. We've ridden together over the weekend, but can't fairly compare the two yet - she's breaking in the 300 very conservatively, and not really going past 4000-5000 rpm, we know it sings way beyond that. But things I've noticed: - lots more torque on the low end of the 500r -...
