I worked for two dealers and rode Ducati's,can you say uncomfortable/Honda, excellent qaulity, but so nice it is actually bland/ Yamaha, just feels weird/ Moto Guzzi, way weirder than Yami/ Enfield, 1950's bike remade in India, need I say more/ Triumph, fun, still has major English problems/ Suzuki, hands down that 00 GSXR750 is the most nimble well balanced bike I ever rode, I still need one of those in my paddock, and the Busa, well you all know we love those...
That leaves me the Kawi. I had a 99 and a 00 ZX-9. People can say what they want, but with a corbin seat, I am 6ft, it was one of the most comfortable bikes I ever rode. 300 hundred miles a day was the norm. I stayed in N.E. and put 12,500 from March till Dec in 99. I wasn't the fastest or the quickest, but we are not on the track and only 3 of my group of 20 have race licenses, including me. It was a good all around bike. It had character. THE ZX-12, YUCK, LOOKS KINDA PRETTY, BUT IT'S A SLED.
My new 02 Black SE will be in my truck in 10 days and I can write an ode to Busa this coming season after I ride it enough.
I don't what you ride as long as you are!
