I am still kicking around the sport tourer... Still like the sportbikes, love the raw power!!! Its just that all the aches and pains, surgeries and assorted other metal that body now has.... make the riding postion difficult to handle for more that 30 minutes. I love to ride but hate the pain, so looking for something more comfortable.
I rode to the UP of Michigan in October, with two guys I work with at the TSA.. Very nice unpopulated area.... logged about 1900 miles in 5 days.. It was on that trip that I decided the GSXR must go. |

Quoted for truth. G-Rex has 50k miles on his Busa from touring on it. 5500 miles of which I was on the back.

I have the bike I want....the M109 is just awesome....but....I would love to have a big, nasty, naked streetfighter....no reason to have it other than hooligan-ism...but...I want it anyway...not as a replacement...but as an addition to the garage.
The new Ducati would be PERFECT.... *drool* |

It's not big, but it's definitely nasty and naked. Try out the Aprilia 5.5 SXV. If that mutha doesn't blow your mind, then I don't know what is.

If I get a chance to get a new bike anytime soon it will be the Street Triple
But that chance is slim, so I am hoping there will be more options when that time rolls around. |
