[bike mad]

the bike I have is a 999s and find it quite different from the older jap bikes I've had in heavy traffic, they feel much hotter, the exhaust doesn't help, but it's not unbearable, I also find the bars are to low at slow speeds, I have a riser kit to help but haven't fitted it yet. but the bike reliability is never questionable, you know you will get there just a bit hot and with aching wrists, but when you get out of town it's a joy and well worth the hot bum in summer. ps I dont ride if there's road salt out or if I do I make sure it's cleaned befor I put it away.
