Or so it felt! :eek:

I just took delivery of my XR with 3k on the clock and getting off a GSX-R and on to the XR.... it feels like a skreeeching halt but what a change! But a lekker change indeed! I saw more in one way back to work from dealer in Kayalami than I saw in the last 10 times I traveled to and from Jhb seeing clients. Remember my cruising speed now drops from average of 160 - 180+ to a sedatly 120....! ;D

Still feeling my way in the handling and braking and acceleration on the XR but preliminary impressions - can't wait to go out and play even in today's 38 degrees heat.

My aircon on the GSXR only started working @ 140 and now I take forever to reach 120!!

Looking forward to play with my new toy over the weekend before I start changing it with a bigger Acerbis tank, etc. Will see how far the R and c streches.
