One question, are you running synthetic or conventional oil in said bike?

I had my old ZX10R up to 191 mph multiple times....105 on the NC feels like driving 55 in a family sedan. Lol

Liability *only. Liability is a requirement by law here as well.

Here's my NC700X on track stateside! Skip to about 3:30-ish to where I start passing a few folks in turns. NC is slow, but I catch up with them in the turns!

Fastest I've had mine is 105 wide open downhill.

I know one thing, I'll never have liability insurance again, on ANYTHING. Thankfully I had full coverage when that old lady ran me off the road on my cruiser a couple months ago....Allstate is paying me more for that bike than I could have sold it for, and they are paying $1000 toward my medical...

Do you have any luggage accessories for it? (Side cases, top box, etc)

It was a novelty helmet, although I don't see a DOT half helmet serving much different in the same circumstances. But who knows, really....it might have. I guess the thicker, denser foam inside would provide a little more shock absorption protection.

Yeah kind of what I was thinking. If I was coherent at the scene, it have likely went much differently. Lol

Got out with the girlfriend on the NC this weekend and rode through some backroads around Little River Canyon and stopped for some scenic views! I love it up there! First ride on 2 wheels since crashing the cruiser on Dec 9th! Really surprised she wanted to ride with me after the crash, she's...

Well I started a claim with my insurance so it will be covered either way, but the way they wrote the wreck report up, based on what she told them only, it looks like my fault. So, I've enlisted the help of a friend of mine who is a seasoned attorney to try and pin this on her insurance. The...

Welp...was gonna run to town to pick up some parts for my truck on my cruiser Dec 9th, and some old lady merged over on me in my lane and bumped me off the road. Locked brakes down and slid straight into sidewalk curb in the middle of town and crashed as soon as I hit the curb. Don't remember...

Sounds like it will be more of a touring bike than the offroad-ness of the AT.

Hope this happens. Plenty power crossed with practicality. The 1100AT is a good platform for this bike. Especially if it will be available with the DCT like the AT already is. If this shit happens, I will be making a purchase. Plenty power, 17" wheels, dual front brakes, inverted forks, and...

As long as your front brake is solid, shouldn't be that big a deal. Should be using front brake more than rear anyways. If really needing to stop in a hurry, using the rear brake in unison with the front brake will reach maximum stopping power, but rear brake alone will not slow you down enough...
