Ballastic I'm like you. I love bikes and this guy didn't look like he could ride very well. I know it's alittle rough to corner on a bike like that, especially with the turbo, but he could have rode alittle harder on the straight aways.
Bikes are very cool, you just have to be very mature to ride. I used to have a 600 and rode with some idiots. After having the bike 3 or so years I sold it, but eventually I'll get another. It's just hard to beat a bike. I paid less than $4000 for an excellent condition 600 with very low miles. A 98 FZR 600R through a slip-on and babied out the hole and still ran low 12's at 118 MPH.
I had a buddy with a 2001 GSXR 1000 with a pipe and k&n power commander and we went to the track and he ran (on street tires - and no stretched swingarm) 9.94 @ 144.8 mph on a basically stock bike. What's not to like about that?
But if you ride just be SAFE !!!!
