"I've Made a Huge Mistake."

Experienced rider matt miller describes his entire harrowing experience with this sick-looking race machine, from impulse to injury.

"It was the good looks of the HP4 that got me too. The smart man in me was like, Hey, that's cool, you want to try a liquid-cooled inline four after all these years of 2-valve twins. Buy a used 2012 S1000RR.'' But then the me in me was like: Carbon Fiber! Full Exhaust! Dynamic Damping! BLUE WHEELS!!!"

It's a great read and a useful cautionary tale, for anyone (everyone?) who gets transported by good looks.
