I meant no offense Rod, I was just very enamoured with the busa after getting off the TLR. For me riding is about freedom, and I think the busa enables freedom in that you can pretty much dial in the speed and it is so. There is no waiting or requirement to work the bikes engine to get to a ludicrous speed. Also, the drive out of corners was not paralled by the TLR. I could put the throttle to full lock without any concern on the TLR, something I would never do on the busa at full lean (gear selection dependant obviously).
I just thought you must've missed the power of the dark side when you switched to the VFR. I know you can ride the shit out of anything and many a sports bike enthusiasts has been humbled when trying to follow you to Clampetville. I therefore support your comments and indeed if voted PM would mandate it as law that we should all have at least 10 bikes!
Apart form that, I'm heading back to Melbourne after Easter, only for a short stay though. Heading through the mountains camping on the way. Brining the busa in for a service and some tail raises. Thinking about high comp cyclinders and head work with a Yoshi 4-1. Also thinking it might be too much
