Hey gang im not new to riding or the forums, but new here 
I'm seriously considering a 14 ninja 1000. I've been liking these since 2011 and now with the better stuff for the 14 makes more sense but.....
I've had Yamaha 600, cbr600rr, gsxr 750, 2 different year cbr1000rr's and my latest (I was a hair away from buying a ninja 1000 but got the cold feet and went with the KTM rc8r instead). The reason why is I love to ride aggressive most of the time with the weekend knee dragging on the local California twisties. Yes I get cramps in wrists or some back pain but at the end of the day riding the supersport a 300 mile in n out of canyon runs is worth it to me because the way the bike feels/handles riding/leaning.
I'm sure the N1K can be ridden aggressively too but how far can you lean on them before the pegs grab sending you on your way to a high side?
I mean I'm like caught in between the two options here.
1) get new S1000RR to ride alone and ride hard or
2) sacrifice handling/speed for a ride I can take the girl along too without me or her getting too tired.
It's gotta be a one bike only deal so it's either the n1K or s1000rr.
This is very confusing..
