3. Smilies are mandatory when riding this bike.

4. Waaaaaaaaaay more comfortable than the Suzuki.

I can't wait for my 1125 to get loud...
What kind of speed do you get out of 2nd??
I know 6th is a waste on the 1125... rarely even use 5th, 2 and 3 are the main ones.

Glad you are loving it. Impressions on the Corsa III's compared to the Powers???

The mirrors are ok. I like how they look...but I can't see much. The bought a set of OEM's...I'm gonna but them on and see which I like better.

Speed...I can do atleast 75 in 3rd...maybe more.

As far as the Corsa's...so far so good. I'm running them at pretty high pressure right now...about 33 up front and 37 rear. I haven't hit any 'good' twisties yet...so I can't be sure just yet. I'll test them this afternoon and adjust pressure and see if I like them.

YES, it does have a slipper.

But, jamming it from 2nd to 1st at too high a speed will cause nuts to hit airbox, and a half second of rear wheel chatter...

banging the boys off the airbox is never a good thing did that in turn 6 at midoohio once, never again, drasticly reduced my entry speed from there on out....

get it under 50 mph before hitting 1st and it's all good.
Never had any issues in any other gears, not saying a slipper is NEEDED, but is sure is nice.
