Today, I had this weird phenomenon that I only read about on the forums before happen to me. Phenomenon that i am referring to is called---"Bike falling off the stand". 11 years I been riding and never had a single garage mishap, I stood there motionless thinking "Wtf just happened here? Did my Pitbull shit the bed?". I am never moving a bike while on a stand again, not even an inch. Gixxer fell on top of cardboard boxes and sustained zero damage.

Love that HP2 boxer. Must be smooth as balls and torquey. Too bad it fails in so many ways...

Thing is though, me and him both got everything that Ohlins offers for S1s on our bikes. All go-fast bolt-ons, tuned and everything dialed in. I can't see it getting getting much better than that. We will see what he says after his 1st trackday on it.

Too expensive for the performance. Sure, it's hand-crafted. Horizontal boxer = no lean angle at all. About 130 HP out of a liter-plus engine. Quite pathetic really. It's more art than sport bike; a collector's item, if you will.

Are you using extended bars? I'm looking at these pics, and there's a lot of exposed handlebar inboard of the lever, and I wondered whether you ride with wider bars or if it was just the absence of controls that made it look that way.
My bike has bar controls in that same spot on the bars. |

Its mainly the absence of the turn signal/horn control assembly making it look longer. Also I use Renthal kevlar grips, which are about a half inch shorter than normal grips.
