thanks for the kinds words on falling off 
. Like you say I got pretty damn lucky. I did think at the time: could be worse, could be in front of queueing traffic 
.
Impressive that you picked it up on your own! It took both me and my gf to lift it!
Glad you asked - I actually found the adventure bike stance soooo alien. Didn’t feel like a bike at all to me. Wasn’t a fan of my arms running parallel with the floor and cornering didn’t feel great. Also didn’t like standing the bike up when stopped, both before and after the drop lol. Center of gravity is so high! I don’t really get them…
I did get a bit nearer adventure bike when testing the S1000XR which was much nicer. Still not for me I don’t think. Just doesn’t feel enough like a bike to me. I know people love them though, so I’m wondering if I’m doing it or appreciating it wrong.
Hell yeah, murdered out CBR1000RR is gorgeous. Don’t usually like all black bikes because I think they miss some character (lol yes I own an all black MT-07, something I have disliked about it).
Even after testing the S1000RR (supposedly the most comfortable supersport out there) and not liking it… I still can’t help being pulled to the likes of R1, Panigale, CBR1000RR. The H2 is also a beauty.
RS 660 might give me the best of all the worlds I’m looking for lol.
