I agree, just like the busa bashers. Every bike serves a purpose and everyone has different reasons for making their choice or choices on selecting a steed. I think true riders can appreciate any reliable, well put together two wheeled beast.
I can have fun on any thing thats why I kept my lil whore so long even if every dude I ran into said man thats a chick bike. She did her job twisty fun,road trips, and cruising around town.
I def needed more bike though to get better but if I had not banged her up I would have kept her as my commute whore.
