Finally purchased a sport bike.


I've always wanted a sport bike since middle school (1996-1998). It wasnt until high school I felt how heavy they were, then I thought no thanks. But in the back of my mind it would be neat to own one.  Fast forward coming home from deployment in 2007, one of the guys used their deployment money and got a Harley Night Rod Special... DAMN. This bike reminded me of the bike in Final Fantasy 7, Hardy-Daytona. Anyways, the Night Rod is the ONLY Harley I actually liked. Finally bought that as my first bike in 2015, which is also a 2007. The bike is decently quick and can take off form a dig with no issues, hard launch if you like at 5k rpms and you will sling shot off the line. Mine is on a fat 280 rear tire.  Fast forward again to the present (yesterday). I recently moved temporarily and have a pain in the ass commute. I basically have to leave earlier than 620am to get to work at a decent time (around 7). On the way home, its always a 45+ minute commute. Basically I'm spending 1hr 15-20 mins every day commuting. This started last week, my first day back on vacation I knew I had to get a bike.  It just so happens there are a few on Craigslist. Anyways, enough with the stories.I purchased a 2013 S1000RR Premium, 3020 miles, new tires, heated grips, recent oil change. Wow what a fucking rocket, the first day I just rode it around in rain mode, and only did 10 miles. The camp fire smoke is bad here and i didnt want to breathe that in too much.  Today, I did about 30 miles again in the bad air, but I didnt care. This time I took it to sport mode. Holy shit this thing is a fucking beast. Previous owner did a 520 conversion (sprocket and chain), he said it puts down about 180rwhp. Anyways this thing is fucking fast, i feel like i finally got a mans bike.
