Splurge on your loves/disloves about the bikes you rode during your 5 sessions...

Well I'd have to say (and I'm sure you'll agree since you were draggin knee the whole time... haha) that the Buell Firebolt was a great bike to really hang off and lean on!
But I as much fun as the Buell and RSV Aprillia was..I thought the Kawasaki 636 and ZX-10 were the funnest and I felt really smooth going through the turns!

The RSV gets my vote for best power. It had a good amount of torque to feel like I was coastin through the apex at a fast speed, and really smooth on the throttle. It was so comfy to sit on too!

The Aprilia Tuono was awkward because of the upright touring position. Very powerful, handles every turn as hard as you want to take it!

The ZX-10R was my fave because it was a lot lighter to toss around underneath me and leaned pretty sharply for a liter bike.

And yes, I was knee draggin the whole time on the buells [Firebolt, lightning, and CITY CROSS!]. Those were the most fun to ride all day because I got to experiment the physics of knee draggin on a bike that was low, and somewhat dinky [light weight]. What I hated most was getting used to the torque! I would always jump! into second, and didn't like the front wheel wobble going into a turn. Another chick felt the wobble too, but at higher speeds it went away...

My last run were the Ducs. The 800 was had really quick acceleration, and was very light. The Sport 1000 was awesome! Classic body style, with all the modern technology of a sportbike. It was so raked, my chin was right over the gauges. I had a lot of fun on that because it was light and easier to shift my weight. Acceleration on that thing is mad crazy, and although it had a slightly longer wheelbase than some others, it didn't make too big of a difference in the corners...
