    Speaking of Wings, check out Youtube "Chester Goldwing Figure 8's" for some cool fun. Pause the video at max lean angle to get a better sense of what the bike can do. Not bad for 1,000 lbs of motorcycle.

    American made superbike tire!!

    Maybe one thing to consider regarding riding on the street is what happens when things go wrong. When a car pulls out in front of you and you need stopping power that lifts the rear tire off the ground. If you enter a turn too hot and have to lean that beast over until the hard parts...

    Just because the crash was not your fault

    i agree with the 99% number. one thing to consider is even if you are totally aware of danger...do you have the skill to do something about it? approx. 1/2 of all motorcycle fatalities happen in turns with NO CARS involoved...rider error and lack of skill. in almost all cases, the bike...
