So you don't ever speed? The best time to do so is on the highway. Sure it's stupid, but why do we have such powerful bikes?

[/quote]yea, only if there is no traffic at all, and not to try to be a splat!

 

I hit the highway on the second day after I bought my bike and I hate it. i would rather be on the twisties in the backroads.

 

I waited like 3 mo. Not a big fan of the highway, would much rather ride back roads[sm=gears.gif]

 

After reading this thread, I'm embarrassed to own a sport bike. Can anyone say squid?

For the cost of just two speeding tickets, you can pay for a track day.

 

1 week. I ride the highways all the time. Since this is my only transportation I can't always go looking for fun backroads when I need to get somewhere. Wish I could though..

 

+++++++1 to first day. hell i was up to 85 on a two lane road it was great.

 

**** highways Im in Los Angeles **** scarred me, even streets scarred me.So I took the streets to work for about two weeks then began hitting the highways on the downtime of traffic. I think it helped alot.

 

I am buying my first sportbike tomorrow.
Having a friend ride it back on the highway for me.
I am sure I could handle it, but since I can arrange otherwise I did.
I am not in a hurry to ride on the highway, though I am not opposed to it here and there in lower traffic hours.

I waited until I was really comfortable with my bike, which was like 3 full days of riding it. I made sure I had all my gear on, and I did it at night, when not many people were around. This was when I was riding my Ninja250

 

rode for about a week before the interstate
it's scary all over again when you haven't ridden it in a few months
