    S1000r

    I went over to Adventure Motorsports of NWF in Pensacola and picked up a 2018 S1000R today. WOW. I brought it home (200 miles) in the truck. I just rode it about 75 miles before it got dark. Can't really evaluate much cause I was busy just hanging on. I only tried ROAD and DYNAMIC modes. Since I was mainly paying attention to the road I didn't fiddle with all the options.
    Biggest difference to me, coming from my lovely red pig (2000 KRS), is the acceleration, quickshifter and the feeling that I still need to shift upward while in 6th. This thing feels like it's winding out at 6,000 RPM. I'm still in break in mode so I won't push it until I get the first service next week. I can't imagine what quick shifting at near redline will do!
    I do like that quickshifter. I'll write more after I've had her for awhile.
    I know, as all of you know, that the spending has just begun. ?. Any suggestions on a Tank bag, Windshield?

        Since they also sell a bunch of Indians I took a look around and like the massive motors. I find them beautiful. Click image for larger version

            Charlie was my inspiration! Fran has me thinking of my feminine side.
            Beech and Rick gave good advice and encouragement to buy this machine. I thank you all.

                I see the Indian pics, but not those in the first post.

                  Yeah, I can't see the pictures either. I opened it to see if I could edit the pictures and they don't show there either. Weird.

                    Congrats on the new bike. I bet it fits in the truck better than the RS.

                      Congrats Pete! I bet it feels like you're in another universe when you're riding it versus Old Faithful.
