I’m with @WJBertrand in his post #42 on this topic.
when I ride with my friends in a very mixed group on the Dutch backroads the S10 is the quickest. Our backroads are approx 1,5 car (European, not US truck) wide and give corner after corner with small straights. Their R1, S1000RR and Tuono Factory R can’t get the pace and RPM up high enough. I’m using the torque on the S10 to stay ahead while pegs scrape and my @Mitas E07+ scream for joy. The choppers simply can’t get the lean angle to join.
For the record: All riders are about my age and similar in experience, some even do trackdays, I just ride as much as I can.
Stefan.
