Good on you. I'm calling this one to last out the calendar year.
And good on you for trying and owning so many bikes too. Many will mock, but few have gained the same ownership experience.

I had one I kept it for 8 months. It's a license risk owning one.
Manic performance and just eags you on. Great bike, could be better finished and if you are over 90 kegs needs re springing.
I have a speed triple r now which is tame compared to the S1000.
Ride safe.

This is why I didn't get one, same with the street triple. The R1200R I went for instead is much easier to keep on the right side of the law but still has lots of poke.
It's all down to personal experiences I guess, when I was younger I rode 2T motox so I'm used to ragging anything that's got a revvy nature, bikes with torque suit me much better as I get the power kick without getting sucked in to using high revs.

That's partially why I like my v-twin tuono, I rarely go above 7-8k rpm as all the fun is between 4-7k, you still get up to triple figures pretty quickly as it's a 1000cc 139bhp bike but in fact I tend to end up cruising at a faster speed on my VFR than on the tuono, it's quite easy to be sitting at close to 3 figures and it feels like you're only doing 60....

More idiot drivers on the way to work. These didn't even pretend to care 
I got squeezed on the inside on a roundabout on Wednesday. I was going right, she was going straight over and clearly forgot they're call ROUNDabouts. Though as any experience rider would do, i wasn't directly parallel, so just broke away and gesticulated her what-for 
Finding this is the case with the 636
That will be the wind protection of a faired bike rather than power.
Thank you.
I'm calling 45 days this time
120 days.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
Nice one
90 days
Enjoy
"Keeping this one"™

If i do change it i'll try a Tuono Factory or SDR next time Probably more the jump from a 125 to a 636
