I have been thinking about a new bike to replace my ST1300 with something lighter and more sporty. I'm a Honda Guy and gave them a good look but nothing fit, the VFR800 had a bit to aggressive seating position and down on power and the sport tourers where just to heavy. The N1K was what I was looking for, high HP handling with an optional set of integrated bags for 2014 just seem to fit the bill. So, yesterday I traded the CB.

I have only had a chance to put 50 miles on it last eve, first impression, the seating position is upright with a bit of forward lean with a short reach to the bars, setup for a short rider
The engine is wound up so tight 6 gear off throttle engine breaking had me thinking why have brakes on this bike LOL after coming off the CB1100. The bike comes with ABS, four modes of traction control with one of those position being off. In position one full on the bike will not spin up or wheelie just straight power to the ground. I need to put in some seat time to get a good feel of the bike.
I have been on this site for 2 years with over a month logged in and 117 PM, over that time I have looked forward each morning to have coffee (or tea) with Mickey and hope I have contributed and help a few members, I know I have gotten a lot of ideas and help here.
Like ACK, i plan on hanging around because this is one forum i enjoy reading each morning, Oh and I also purchased two rally shirts which I look forward to wearing.
