Which bike to ride?

I was really hoping to get out this week. Spring is in the air, but with it the rain has arrived!! So i may just wait till early next week, maybe even a Sunday.

Which bike to take.....

I guess it depends on where i might be going!! If i can getthe info for the beach trip then i guess its the KTM but otherwise im going to take the R1. I am still to put it in a situation where i am totally happy with the way it handles. It falls to the right if I take my hands off the bars and behaves funnily in slow corners. By funnily i mean it wants to fall into the corner. Like its alignment is wrong. It visually it doesnt seem to be, and there is no reason to believe it has taken a hit that would mis-align it....

Maybe its just the way it handles?? my RC-51 used to fall to the side as well with the hands off the bars and it was definately straight.

What would be best is if i ran it up to motegi for a day or so and put it through its paces in an environment I know well. It will probably be on the cards maybe next month...

Check out the forum for any riding plans underfoot....

Busy, busy, busy....
