RE: [ST] skills exceeding bike capability

[david.funk@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I understand the desire for a more capable motorcycle. But I think it is rare that a riders skills exceed the bike capability of modern sport bikes. I have no doubt that a better rider would make my current bike do many things I can't.

I find it more likely that your skills have reached a level where you could take advantage of "some" of a GSXR 1000's capabilities. 
Just a wording thing.
