That's what these bikes are meant to do, and they feel real natural doing it.

I've logged almost400 miles now and am wondering if you guys think it is a good idea to go and take the MSF course? Does it teach just basics or is there something worth while?
Some of it will be pretty boring, but I think the basics are worthwhile, and if you can control your bike, especially a sportbike, at 8 mph, you'll find it's a lot easier to do it at 80 or 138. For someone coming from dirtbikes, you might benefit most from the classroom part where they talk about traffic awareness, since you already know how to ride. In my case, I had been riding for four months before I took the MSF, but I don't think I ever did a head check (in addition to looking in the mirror) until the instructor really stressed blind spots. Now I do it all the time, and it can literally be a lifesaver if you're moving from the left lane to the center at the same time as a car is moving from the right to the center.

munson hit the nail on the head....these bikes are built for speed....(had my 1000RR up to 193 the other day....greatest feeling in the world...felt 100% free, but i'll prolly never do it again.....and it sounds like all the MSF course teaches is the packet that they give you to take the temps test......use common sense out there and be safe everyone...
