Is it possible to get bored of riding a 1,000cc, 200mph Supersports bike?<\/del><\/p>\n

Asking for a friend.<\/del><\/p>\n

No.<\/p>\n

Last week my commutes were in the car.<\/p>\n

It is brand spanking new; had 7 miles on the clock when it was delivered.<\/p>\n

Normally I commute on the ZX10R, but the weather was dire last week.<\/p>\n

So I made the daily round-trip in the car.<\/p>\n

And with every mile I travelled in the car, the sheen of the ZX10R seemed to become slightly more dull.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why, it just did.<\/p>\n

And then, yesterday, there was a break in the rain, so I took the Ninja out for a little trip.<\/p>\n

Nottinghamshire, Leicestershire, Rutland, back in to Leicestershire, and Nottinghamshire.<\/p>\n

I travelled across some fantastic English countryside, and through some beautiful villages.<\/p>\n

Sometimes I rode the Ninja as if it was a tourer, sometimes I opened the throttle and rode\u00a0it hard, like the breathtaking supersports bike that it is.<\/p>\n

I have no idea how I could feel remotely bored with it.<\/p>\n

Maybe riding it to work on the same roads (weather permitting) day in, day out, was the cause?<\/p>\n

Maybe the new car seduced me.<\/p>\n

Whatever it was, it’s gone now.<\/p>\n

I do wonder if I will ever be brave enough to switch the engine output to ‘full’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
