    I owned R1M and before that a '17 ZX-10R. I thought my old ZX-10R was decently confortable on the road. TEst drove the '21 model, and I thought it was the most uncomfortable sport bike I've ever rode. First thign I"d do, lower the foot pegs/controls. Other than that, Bike looks great! LED lights & TFT gauges are a needed upgrade! As for me, I'd be a '19 or '20 model if I wanted a ZX-10R, or Pick up a Jixer 1000 if I had one bike. Love the looks, but cannot live with it as a commuter bike (and I've been commuting with sport bikes for over 25 years). I'll probably go for the ZX-6R instead.
