So I'm thinking of going from a 99 900rr to a 1100 XX for the simple fact that I take long rides usually 100-200 miles but the problem is when I have my girl with me I'ts murder on my wrists and she's only 130 pounds.So I was wondering if I can get some feedback about the ergos, and all out grunt + what you would say the best part of the 1100XX is thanks.

 

I ride my F4i everyweekend like 250-300 miles. why do your wrists hurt when you are riding with a passenger? Is she riding on your back? If thats the reason, you may want to look at your riding positions, or buy a goldwing. there should be no pressure at all on your wrists. the clip ons are not there to hang on to or lean on, they are just there for gentle inputs

 

You clearly have never had the RR perspective: Rheumatoid Riding position

 

This guys name says it all.

 

Can't think of alpha going into cruiser....lol
I had a close buddy whom riding a bbird, well during long distance, its looks like he is very comfortable. This is a guy who really babied his bike, no revving and so on. But down in twisties he will be left really far aback.

 

Think I will just stay with the 900rr and leave the wife at home!See you guys on the road(Ride or Die!!!) ALPHA OMEGA

 

well, these things are a real powerhouse bike....if hes slacking in the twisties its cause he doesnt know that you can rock em at 70+ in first gear OR loose alotta power and take em well into the hundreds in second....

just imho...

best bike ive ever owned and i currently have 4.
