Yeah I kinda get that, that's the point of my rant
Time to get rid of the bike because I can't control my wrist
Wondering if I was the only one
Maybe you need to mature a little. I ride and I have zero desire to speed. I just enjoy how it makes you feel more connected to the road and surroundings. Being in a car isolates you.
Yes, I rarely get my bike above 90mph. My favorite rides are isolated wide open roads out in the country with speeds 45-60mph and beautiful scenery.

Your post is so grammatically incorrect I can barely understand it. Put in some effort.

Sounds like a few posters can't stick to the topic and want to play mommy and smug english teacher on here.
Ignore them, they are unhappy with their own lives.
I know the feeling, my R1 did 114 to 116 in first gear. Almot too fast for the road, almost.
I never got any tickets on mine, but was pretty careful most of the time.
Sounds like you guys have cameras everywhere, I'm surprised people don't use spraypainting drones with glass etching acid spray cans on those scammy things.
Sportbikes are a ton of fun, but make really bad cruisers. They are good for about 45 min to an hour before your back and wrists hurt.
The Ducati Panigale 1299 is sweet, I would get one if I had the extra 20k. Fast, torquey, light as a 600.
I am going to pick up a KTM 500 soon, and do the dual wheel setup for Dualsport and supermoto.
The supermoto wheels balance better at highway speeds. It maxes ot at about 110ish, so it will keep you out of trouble.
They are tons of fun, and a full on race caliber offroad machine with lights and a license plate thrown on.
It's much cheaper to operate than an inline 4 or thr twin Duc. In fuel and maintainence.
The upright riding position and squishy suspension make it very comfortable for long rides, and a seat foam upgrade helps big time I have heard.
They aren't cheap though around 10k usd new, here in the us anyway. You may be able to get them cheaper.
Good to here from other cage-dodgers

This is my ride. No tickets yet. I did take a BMW 1000 RR for a ride and fell in love. Who knows maybe when I am 60 Ill buy a BMW 1200. I like that bike. But for now, my cruiser will do. Just put some heated grips on her. You will be fine if you just start focusing on taking it easy.

Keep trying. I hope you get it. Tell her you cant take it with you. That and you only live once. It's a nice bike.
