I´ve been using a 1998 YZF R1 for commuting, touring and the odd race weekend for about 4 and a half years. On long trips I have to be aware of how I´m resing on the handlebars to be sure that my wrists aren´t aching by the end of the first day. Other than that, this bike is an unexpected, champion all-rounder (I don´t do off roading other than to park near camp sites).
