Default New to CBR1000RR. Exercisies?

What exercises or stretches do you do to stay in shape so you can ride longer on your CBR1000RR?

I am coming off a Kawasaki Concours with bar risers and gen mar footpeg lowerers on it and need to know what I should concentrate on so I can ride with minimal aspirin useage.

EDIT: to subject header

While I generally do abs, lower back (dead-lifting) and other training ex. as a habit. I would imaginegeneral leg and back stretches (lower back) may be sufficient depending upon your weight / height and riding position (back of seat / closer to tank etc).
Igenerally sit right up on the tank, but I hear others complain that this position is uncomfortable for them...everyone is different.

You may already know this as I am not sure of the riding position for your other bike; but keep a bent elbow and squeeze tank with your legs (inner thighs, especially when stopping) to take pressure of your wrists. I have also found that supporting most of your body weight using your mid-section (abs/back) helps. In other words...not leaning your upper body weight on your arms...wrist etc.

It took me about a week to find a position that's truly comfortable. I have been on the bike for about 4 hours straight with no problems / cramped feeling when getting off.

Hope this helps.

I know the feeling,I just came from a Thunderace with Corbin seats, and this CBRis literally a pain in the ***, but i think you are looking at it backwards, instead of exercise you should eat more crap, even to the point of cellulite to get some cushioning.

That's what I did. I like to think of it as an investment.

Just ride the damn thing. Im 6 foot 5 and when I first got it, it hurt to ride more than 30 minutes. But I just did 3,000 miles in 6 days, had a killer time, and didnt really feel to bad at the end of the riding day. You will adapt if you ride!

I plan to.[sm=smiley2.gif] I was just wondering if there were any exercises that you could do to make it easier on the body.

Ride more and longer each time. When I first started I was good for about an hour. Now I can ride all day long. Ride every day.

Ditto. When I first got mine I made a ~120 mile trip and stopped 3 times to stretch and whatnot. Now I've gone well over 200 miles without stopping once. Just ride the damn bike, you'll get used to it.
