 As a result of your post I went for a test ride on an XR this weekend. It is quite a machine. You dont expect something with such an upright riding position to be that quick. I did notice the buzziness in the handlebars. It only seemed noticeable to me because of how smooth everything else was. I also took an R model out and didn't notice it at all. Now I just need to decide if I am ready to give up the more aggressive sport bike riding position.

 How about an update on the XR. Have you been racking up the miles on it like you intended?

Pushing close to 6k on it now. Gearing up to do the first mods, a carbon fiber replacement for the dash (as I pulled the windscreen off because it caused terrible buffeting, but the mounts for it are still there and causing more moderate buffeting) and machining this block of metal into some lower foot pegs:

I'd like to see pics of this when you are done.

What is your opinion on the great city of Philadelphia?

Lovely place, enjoyed my time there. I use this email ironically.
