I'm an older computer guy who's always been interested in bikes but never made good on it until my retirement. Instead I did car stuff. A year ago I took a riding course, got licensed and bought a Yamaha R3 to practice on. I've since added a Ninja 1000SX for longer trips and carrying a passenger. Both bikes are great for what they are, but the idea of a small I4 really appeals to me in the same way my Miata's do -- good handling, and enough power to be quick if you're willing to work for it, but slow if you're a lazy rider. A joy to run up and down the gears. Hoping it'll be a bike that really rewards proper technique in the mountains while keeping the overall speeds down to fit the roads I have available. I think many others here see it the same.
Anyways, I'm 2nd in line at my local dealer for an -RR KRT and keen to get going.
