Ok, it's not completely new, but $4,500 and I get an amazing bike that already has some nice work, 10,700 miles, 2 jackets, gloves, helmet. I finally win. Makes up for the Evo X dealership rape. No more MPG problems. :shades:

I found a pretty good definition on Wikipedia lol:
A chicken strip is a sometimes derogatory term used to describe the width of unused tread on the edges of motorcycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle) tires (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tires), typically a sport bike.
A turning motorcycle must lean into the turn. The faster it is going or the sharper the turn, the farther the motorcycle must lean over. For a formula relating speed, turn radius, and lean angle, see Bicycle and motorcycle physics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_and_motorcycle_physics). As the motorcycle leans, the tires' contact patches (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_patch) move farther to the side causing wear. The chicken strip is the amount of unworn tread caused by a motorcyclist being considered too chicken to go faster through a turn and thereby lean the motorcycle farther over.
This is frequently used as a derogatory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derogatory) term deriving from the term chicken. Hence, chicken strips mark an inexperienced motorcyclist who is afraid to lean a motorcycle far enough to wear the edges of the tire. It should be noted however that due to the handling capabilities of many modern motorcycles, and the vagaries of road condition, it is not advisable to exploit outer handling limits on public roads. The bike is typically capable of handling corners far too fast to avoid a sudden obstacle (car stopped or run wide, etc). On a closed race circuit, however, a rider is expected to use the edges of the tires on turns in order to stay competitive.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the lookup. I just got it registered, insured, and my permit today. $525 per year (two tickets on my record).

It will take some getting used to.

oh yeah, you'll be tearing it up soon enough... just be safe and always respect the bike... also wear your gear!!!

oh btw.. last year I upgraded from an 03 R6 to my 07 R1.. one trip to the canyons and no more chicken strips.. lol

Sweet looking bike! Best way of getting rid of the Chicken Strips on a R6:
