I just don't think I could pull off the maneuver you described. When I was in California traffic was stop and go alot, other motorcyclists were lane splitting. my buddy and I had intercoms and we discussed trying it, but in the end decided against it. Neither one of us had confidence that we could pull it off. ( this was on the freeway).
I am also interested in the 390 Duke. They are bringing it at a very attractive price ($4999) which includes standard ABS. For those who aren't long legged or just don't need the tall riding position of a supermoto, a street fighter naked bike makes sense.
Yeah, I'm very interested in the RC390. Seems like a great sport bike for someone of my skill level. Ride it for a bit, then upgrade the suspension and tires and have even more of a blast. They brought them both in at great prices.

I was eyeballing them, but it just doesn't make sense as an only vehicle if you plan on doing multi hour trips. Plus, at the price I think they really should have adjustable suspension. Looks like a ton of fun though!
