    Yep...more XI riders is probably a pretty good bet. I think it stems, generally, from laziness and fear. You know...the e-buaeton, baby-butt soft suspension (God knows we wouldn't want the XI riders getting a little boo-boo on their soft little tushies) and the general ease of handling you get from a "castrated" R (HRka: XIaga ;)

    You have to understand, the average human is unable to handle the raw power and capability of the R.HR So, it is up to the adventurers of this world, the risk takers, the type of rider that is much like the folks who founded this country...to hop on that R HRteed and tell the world to "Kiss my a$$, I ain't ridirodin baby bike!"

    Don't feel bad all you XI riders...glory isn't for everyone. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Not everyone can be a hero. Hero's need their support structure. It's you XI riders that really make the HR riders look good! (yeah, right!) ;)

    Oh, that's right...I never answered your question. I ride an HR! 8)


    :?: So when are you going to be a real MAN and spring $10,000 for a CR 500 :P :P :P ;)
    And therein lies the wash. There is a fine line between a "hero" and an "idiot." ;) The CR500 is a monster to be sure...but it is also quite the "compensator" for those with short, little... :-# ...well, you know! A REAL man can take a machine that is ordinarily available to anyone and accomplish extraordinary things with it. Okay...you don't believe me? Go ahead and show 'em 124! :twisted: (You didn't think I was talking about me did you?) :)

    Well, Cliffy...with your all "CAPS" and no emoticons response, I'm guessing I've touched a nerve? You do understand this is all in good fun, right? If not, you might fit in better at www.thumpertalk.com . Give it a try... :lol:

    To be completely honest, I really thought the X riders were going to WAY outnumber the R riders. Assuming the poll is true and we don't have anyone padding the numbers, this is a surprise. The X forum is sooooooo much busier than the R forum, I just figured....
