    Bare metal tank

    The R3 has a metal gas tank, right? Has anyone stripped the paint off, sanded the metal to get a brushed look, followed by applying some lacquer to keep the metal from rusting? What would be the cons, barring aesthetics, of doing this?

    Insurance

    I priced out full coverage with 3k for accessories on both a R3 and a Speedie. The R3 would add $200 to my annual rate; the Speedie $479. The difference between the two accounts for about one tire change for the R3, making both bikes cost about the same. I really thought the tire costs would...

    Seat comfort
