Nice St8away Hater! Pretty much spot on there! Especially the last one.

I rode some hard right handers ( tee hee hee ) today with some friends ( a K5 Gixxer, a RC51, and a ZX-10r ). The fastest guy was the K5, he has more riding experience than me, but on the final run, I got a chance to ride behind him. I stayed on his tail for two loops, but then backed off. I had nothing to prove, but I now know what this machine ( '00 RC Five-One ) is capable of. I can go into a hard turn unprepared, but the platform is so solid that I can shift a little to place myself where I want on the bike and the bike just stays its course. All I need to do now is adjust the suspensions just a little bit, not quite satisfied yet, and it'll be all good.

Of course on the straights I'd get creamed by the new liter bikes, but in the turns, the Five-One will perform.
