Absolutely! I did trail riding (as we call it here) solidly for about 6 yrs, had 4 different different bikes over that time. I'd love to have another one.
But if I had to choose between off-road and track days, I'd pick track days.

... lorry is likely to be full to the rafters for this trip, so packing Into to smaller bags makes it easier to get on each crate, which will have two bikes plus the kit you ship with it.

Re: 520 Chain Conversion
... but as unsprung mass it's similar to loosing 2.5 kg of the spring mass of the bike. I know it sounds of little benefit but I have reduced the bikes weight by 20 kg and a lot of that was from numerous small savings as after a few big weight savings you have to start looking for the little losses.

Re: 7500 Mile Service
How much?
I paid £280 for the SX to have the same service. From what I've seen both bikes get the same treatment at that stage.

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
finally got one of the zxr400 race bikes running, but runs only on full choke and cuts out when given any throttle, think there may be an air leak somewhere!

Re: Not good reading
... I say that as a biker. I avoid it, even though it's not that far from me, as the last time I rode it I had FIVE near-misses with morons on bikes going far too fast, underestimating the severity of the bends, and running wide. It's not nice when suddenly you see a bike coming hurtling towards ...

Re: 2015 Superbike Lap Times
Not a lot of surprises tbh, but majorly impressive time by the RSV4.
Everyone has been talking about the 2015 s1000rr, R1 and 1299 as the bikes of 2015 but looks like APrilla has come in with a late entry and blitz'd everyone.

... on the road. As you say, changing the gearing is a quick and easy fix so it makes it possible to have the bike running the way you want. We ride bikes differently. I'm heavy on the front which means I had to adjust my riding style for the sx as it can't be ridden that way. I found the 10r to ...

... I can believe that. It'll flick from side to side and give some serious lean angles but without feeling like it's flopping over, as many modern bikes do. Don't forget, this isn't my bike and the bigger than me owner was sat right behind me on my pride and joy, so I wasn't going to spank it. ...
