That's just the regular T. Not the T6 (full synthetic) that most people are running.

I seem to remember having multiple recuring dreams, the one that I can recall, and have the most often, is having to cram and panic for final exams. Even though last time in school was almost 20 years ago. I assume that it's when I'm stressed from work my mind relates back to remembering...

Yeah. For the most part on the street any of the supersports can get you in major trouble. I was just shocked that the difference was only $25 to go from a 2001 Honda Rc51 to a 2012 Aprilia RSV4R.

I was too shopping around this year for new insurance. From the quotes that I received. Seems that the age of the bike, when a supersport, doesn't really seem to matter. I have 16 year old bike and just for fun asked for similar displacement on bike that was only 5 years old and the difference...

I would have to say that I was a bit nervous when getting on any new to me bike. But once moving it disipated pretty quick. Then just enjoyed the new machinery.

You must have really gained some performance. Considering you are going faster than the speed of sound. Lol

Think you need to research a little bit more. Logarithmic scale is essentially the higher the value db, the difference becomes smaller. For instance, the perceived loudness between 20 and 30 db is a lot more than the difference between 80 and 90 db.

If you like it. Go for it. It's your money and you only live once. For myself. I would do as some others have suggested, if your planning on getting a larger bike in the future then put the funds there instead. I would only put a pipe on a 600 or greater.

Congrats. The 0% sure would help make the decision. You'll have lots of fun on it. 6r brings back memories for me as it was my 1st SS back in '98.

What'd ya get! What'd ya get!

Well that helps confirm my concern. Of giving up on the old RC. But the RSV4 is pretty sweet and unique. A bike that makes me wonder "what if". But an I4 just doesn't have the character to make me consider a switch.

I can totally relate to the "character" comment for a bike to be ridden on the street. Guess that's why I'm still holding onto the dinosaur being the RC.

And after today he's not. :headbang: Lol.

I'm sure you will be happy with the purchase. No need for another rear stand unless you end up with a single sided swingarm bike.

Congrats on getting your full M.

I'll ride until it hits the wear bars. Obviously I could push them a little longer but in the past I've gotten hit with rain when when on the wear bars and the back will start skating around. Not the safest when there is traffic around. For tire pressure I do run them a little lower than most...

I've got the one shown but the SS version (the one you can switch between spooled and non-spooled). Since my RC doesn't have spools on it I use it as a standard stand and haven't had an issue. I haven't had an issue with it sliding but that is because I either have the bike in a sport chock or...

I agree. Not originally being from the GTA, all I ever heard from everyone was how good Johnny's was. When I finally got around to having a burger there it was "WTF, this is a plain old flat patty on an oversized bun." Needless to say with all the hype I had heard I was definitely not impressed.

What the heck are you guys riding in order to get 10k out of a SS rear tire?? Now I'm getting to be an old fart who only rides a fraction of what I used to but I would be happy to get 5-6k out of a rear.

I have an older pair of Teknic boots if you're interested. Let me know your email and I'll send you the size and some pics.
