Appreciate all the replies.
This was actually my first long trip after installing RaceTech springs in the front of the FB.
I did like what it did for handling corners, although still not as smooth as my brother's FB Lo. I also had put a EV-13 cam in and it had a Stage 1, which always felt like "almost" enough power.
Yeah, that's one of the issues with renting bikes. Not only are they all '19 models (so different engine & different frame), they're stock. I've never ridden a RK with an aftermarket seat or taller handlebars or any of the mods that might make it fit me much better than a stock RK.
And this, too. I will say my FB instantly felt like the right "fit" to me when I bought it, but who knows what I'd get used to after a while on a different bike. I did think the '19 RK I rented last week handled corners really well.

Yep. I've got a bunch of EagleRider credits saved up, so I figure I'll use some while I'm bikeless to check out the different M8 models. But unless I'm so blown away by one that I decide to go into debt, it's not gonna help me all that much in deciding what to buy since I'll probably be getting something used (which means either another Evo or a Twinkie).
