I use to have an r for about 4yrs and can say it handles well enough to scrap the pegs in the dry no problem. some people complain about the 21 inch front giving a wage handling but I never had any issues. the front brake is not the greatest but makes you use the engine and plan your on the road riding better. best way to find if you like is get a test ride either at a dealers or if you ask nicely someone on the forum might let you have a blip on their bike
