Lose the ear plugs and take the muffler out of your can. Noise helps remind you of speed.
Also think about changing up a bike at some point...sounds crazy? When I moved from the Fazer6 to the R1 I found that while I would have moments of sheer madness of course, most of the time I was riding slower than I would usually on the Faz. I think that once you have reached the point that you can outride the bike you take it for granted...yet even a year after owning the R1 I was still sh*t scared that it could bite me at any moment without notice.
