yeah I saw a comparison between non abs and the abs version... over like 16 attempts the ABS version stopped 20' shorter the first... 17' the second... and on... wasn't until the last stop... did they match the abs version.... and that was with a 20 year riding veteran... the new biker never came with in 5' of the abs version after 20 trys.

and every one of them said it didn't kick in until the last possible moment... so they didn't notice it otherwise.

can't remember where the fuck I saw it though... I think it might have been one of the British mags.

Get what you love and tell her if she wants a cruiser so badly, she can get one for herself.
Hah, if you weren't in Florida I'd ask you who he was.... we've got the same "guy" that attends our track days all the time up here. Not sure if he's early 70's or late 70's though. The guy fuckin hauls ass! Generally he's the fastest guy at the track but he doesn't race anymore.

I agree, get what YOU want... if she wants to ride on the back THEN find a compromise... Tuono, Speed Triple, Fz1 or something more sport touring...

I say buy a brand new FJR or Concourse, bring it home & say "HEY HONEY, I did what ya told me to do... here's our cruiser!" :D

My husband is 40 and I don't think he is tool old to ride a sport bike OR race.

Do what you want.

you're only as old as you think you are.

buy whatever you can ride.

Yeah that dude is like 72 I think... always rolls up with his own rolling tool chest and has his bike in like 200 pieces. He's in shape and could probably beat both you and I up, not to mention he's a fuckin quick rider too.

I want to be him in 50 years. That's insane.
