I've been looking into a 2nd bike... looking at s1000RR or the 14R.
While doing some research I came across this article... The Max is impressive!

Nice find!

This goes to show unless you plan spending a lot of time at the track or in the 'lose your license' arena on the street, you already have the only bike you will ever need. a true ICON!

I agree! May not handle like the other 2 in the tight stuff, courtesy of that loooong wheelbase but the motor is the sweetest on the planet!!
