Hi Girls & Boys,

I am reading your forum for some time now and realised that there is a lots of experience here.

I changed, after 6 years my Fireblade to a GTR1400 (2008). The strong suggestion came from my Dad. I am planning to go for touring and I hope I will find some friends here as well.

Thanks for any advise.
Nicole

You certainly got the best year...I think.  Our (US) 2008 came out in 2007.  Great bunch of people here.  You're in great company.  Watch that Charlie fellow, though.

Well I'm going to say that on average, women are safer drivers than men if they can keep their mouth closed for the duration of the journey.  They don't have the aggression that the average male has, so speed is lower.

Down side is that in a car they can look at someone, use their phone and talk ( all at the same time ! )  on a bike its not possible so much more concentration going on.  :popcorn:
