Trust me - I know what he's saying - the Black 450 with no windshield,
a black leather jacket, black helmet, etc etc - I had a lot of close
calls.
People seem to see the 1000 a lot better - my guess is that
its the much larger fairing and windshield - it reflects the light or
at least makes for a larger target.
Perhaps I should start riding with my reflective vest.....
