Beautiful bike but having fun on that is likely to make you lose your license
Stick to the wr!
Or maybe a track day toy
Haha mate, you havent seen me ride the WR then. I'm alot more likely to lose it on a bike that I wheelie everywhere and am not afraid of hooning everywhere on, The mille scares me so. it'll be good lol
Better on fuel mate having a bit of both myself ill use the wr more. When it works again (still waiting on parts ) i wouldnt go to wales on it or anything then id use the r6 depends how an where you ride most open twisty roads. motorways .Aroads nice flat good surfaced roads sportsbike's lovely .
back roads an twistys tracks lanes fun and smiles Also with our uk's crappy roads. better off using the wr

Damn you guys make it sound so sexy. Would love to do that .Take a nice powerful bike like that out for a long ride. If it were easy. The DT is just gorgeous with the mods. But anything longer than 40 miles and it's a push. I was out all Sunday with my bro and I must admit, was absolutely lovely.
Horrible on long distances, did a 5-600 mile trip on mine for the DRZ forum meetup, felt like **** when i got home. done similar on my old gixxer, was so much better

You know that thing will do like 100 in 1st gear right? From 0-60 in about 3.5 seconds...100 in another 3.5 seconds
On a bike that feels safe at high speed's it's very easy to get use to 100+ cruising
If you can't afford regular track-days, probably best to stay away from a bike like this
its always been the tls thou was the widow maker as the first few years didn't have steering stabilizers and you could randomly get a tank slapper at any speed no matter how you ride them
Round here they got the name as there were a couple of bad accidents on them and you are right the tls had the name as well with the legendary handling problems with the rotary damper later put right by putting the engine in to a gixer frame that was a stonker of a bike but never really got over the bad publicity
