I would agree...but I went that route to curb the dangers of a high speed crash in a corner, only to rail the piss out of my RT better than several of the young guys around the mountain

Personally....I believe NOTHING curbs the desire to ride fast. If you buy a KLR....with knobbies....you're still gonna act a fool in the corners.

Trip is PROOF of that himself on that GS

Just best to take it to track days if the road spooks you too much.

I've been down 4 times on the street due to gravel, or, and tires just DONE with heat cycles long before tread was gone. They all spooked me but NONE have made me any slower unfortunatly
