Performance riding - recommended read.
Seems like this forum has a lot of riders that are new to the sport. For a great education on performance riding (how to do it safely, how to defeat automatic survival reactions, etc.) I highly recommend "Twist of the Wrist II" by Keith Code. I've been riding for the last 15 years and I stumbled upon Code's materials during ownership of an 01 Interceptor. The info learned made me a better rider and....was more fun as well to better understand what is going on with the cycle.
Note - I bought my 250R for commuting purposes but I still have fun dropping it in 5th and pushing the tach to 10k to blow by cagers.
