I don’t take motorcycle advice from a car magazine nor car advice from a motorcycle magazine.
And some of the comments in this article are the apogee of insanity and the nadir of wisdom, such as complaining about the Yamaha R1 being uncomfortable for long rides? Lol, a bike that was designed to lap Laguna Seca faster than full-on race bikes of just a few years ago? Well, granny boy, get back in your Prius and be more comfortable.
The last advice I took from a bike magazine led me to buy a BSA when I should have bought a Honda. 50 years later it still irks me.
“complaining about the Yamaha R1 being uncomfortable for long rides?”
Well, he seems to admire the low-perfomanc HD products.
Clearly has no idea what performance bikes or riding are about.
What fool would even expect a race style bike to be comfortable on a long haul?
