Hi all,

older rider, 52, riding for 36 year, non-stop (since I was 16). Mostly Sport Bikes (CBR1000RR, RC8, ZX6-R, Z1R -- for you older guys). Lots of street and track experience, but not a racer.

My first upright bike for many years. Still missing the clipons, but getting used. Need to take this baby for a few track days...

Bike almost stock, still. Just a taller seat and rear spools. Thinking about suspension mods but not sure I need them. At least not at this point.

Thanks for having me!

Hahaha, 50's! I'm in my 40's and I feel like the baby on the site! Welcome brother! I too switched out from sportbikes to the 790. Loving every minute I spend on it!
