Well,

Don't know about a buzz, but yes my RR puts my right hand to sleep in about 5-10 minutes.

A lot of peeps that have problems with their hands going numb have a vulcan death grip on the bars and are supporting most of their upper body weight with their wrists and hands. I know because I used to do it too. A dude with much experience said "Don't hold the grips so damn tight and stop slouching" Hey, worked for me. As far as the buzzing -- I find my 1K RR to be rather buzzy all over. I'm not planning any iron butt marathons on it so I should be o.k.

Remember to try and keep your elbows bent as you are riding. That will help with the numbness in your hands some. Shake out your arms as you get the chance. My 900RR was pretty bad and I replaced the grips and put some aftermarket bar ends on and that helped alot.

I plan on installing some Heli Bars in the near future to help keep the hands from going numb ( still working on the deathgrip

)
That will kill two birds with one stone ( more comfort and steel braided front brake lines )

I only notice it at slow speeds 30-40 mph on mine, but it is less annoyin if you take most of your weight of the bars, work them abs boy!!

Ya, babeee!! And for long trips (I don't recommend a long trip on a 1000RR) you might consider a back saving device cause I don't care how 6 packish you are the abs will give up the ghost around 200 miles

When bending the elbow try letting them drop down or in instead of out away from you so that you are unable to support any body weight with your arms or hands. This will force you mid section and legs to support you while riding without having to think about it

hmm that only happened to me when I fisrt started riding, I think your body just has to get used to it. I remember getting off the bike and trying to grab the keys out the ignition (funny stuff)
