exactly !! You don’t live in the northwest and complain about the weather you rejoice at the dry days and celebrate by riding
 
And love the effect the smaller front Bridgestone has had on the handling, feels a lot lighter and tips in easier. Went with the Exedra Max on back and H50 front.

I don’t understand the dislike for full power option in the first three gears? You can use the throttle hand to achieve all the control you need.

Well you can if you dial out all the other slack and rotational inconsistencies in the throttle lines. My R3 came from Triumph with teh cables way off, and there on teh OEM bars you really need to fit a bar-end bearing if you intend to feather the throttle in traffic.
