    ... because the 1125R that "won" is just like the one I rode?

    It's also nice until it cooks your foot. I dunno what the hell was wrong w/ the one I rode, but like I said, I was actually surprised that I didn't have first degree burns on my foot after a sub-20 min session. I pulled in early & poured water on my foot.

    Even at NJMP where it didn't seem like that was as much of an issue, I could have done a lot more sessions on it if I wanted to... but I still stuck with my SV.

    Not terrible, but not all that great either. Has the potential for me to like it, but not in stock trim.

    This one isn't out of reach to go see if you feel like you need to do it. Fair price, nicely setup, and some nice spares too.

    Use UShip.com to get shipping quotes, figure on $250 (if you're lucky) to $500 to ship.

    Something sticks out in my memory about the first ones being set up extra lean? Made them run hot... I dunno - I didn't get that into them, just rode a couple and didn't hate them.

    I didn't hate em either, but it wasn't really worthy of winning a championship.
    It was cool to watch it win it... but it was a cheap win.
