Amazing. I never thought my ZX12R really jumped that well. Or in the dirt for that matter. My grandparents used to live out in the desert, they lived down a dirt road about a mile or so long. Anyway I rode my CBR900RR there one day and when I got to the dirt rode I can not tell you how bad that thing was in the dirt. Wrong tires.

Yea, I know it was silly of me to not expect it to be as bad as it was but damn. I felt like I had never once ridden in the dirt before.

The old superbike bars made alot of diference as opposed to clip-ons when on a dirt road. I used to flat track around gravel roads on a kz 900 on Dunlop sport elites for shits and giggles. I would have never tried that with clip-ons.
