For sure, the 1LE is very satisfying in all venues. It's special enough feeling to keep the daily grind interesting, but in Touring mode not rough enough to be tiring. During that fall color tour in the curvy roads of upstate Michigan it's thoroughly entertaining in Sport mode, and then in Track mode on the circuit it shrinks around you and knocks out quick lap times. I really love it's multi-faceted experience.

I went into more detail in the braking thread, but just know that it'll take some adaptation to not over-brake with the higher mu pad. Once you get the hang of it and get the corner entry speed right, your lap times will improve noticeably.
