I don't even bother with mine on the road any more either... Much rather have a comfy 600RR to use for that!
I agree the MotoGP bikes are a bit girly now. It would be solved if they took all the silly traction this and that away and made them proper GP bikes again. I bet the last 2002 NSR500 with Rossi/Pedrosa etc on board, 2007 Michelins and 07 electronics would run rings around these pesky 800's bore strokes... Only 25 bhp down now. The 250GP race onthe other hand! Crikey!
