Everyone has an opinion and a choice, which I respect always.
Here are mine. Top of the list to bottom of the list.
Post up yours.
1.) Why a Hayabusa?
A bike which fits me like a glove, is comfortable, has performance close to the best, is very stable at high speed and does everything well. As far as mods go and the according drag strip performance it still the beats anything else.
2.) A dual sport which weighs no more than 300lbs and can do 100mph on pavement, with at least 300mm of suspension travel. It is not the best at anything, but does everything well, from pavement, to dirt to single track. It is a lot easier to buzz around town with, compared to a cruiser due to the weight and can go places where a 4x4 would not make it. It can cruise comfortably at 80mph.
3.) A 1k naked bike. Light enough to handle, enough performance to give a rush and easy to commute around with. Not something I would want for long miles though.
4.) A 600 for the track. Light enough to load on the back of my truck, more than enough performance for the tracks in my area. Less likely to kill myself compared to a 1k.
Bikes which won’t make my list.
Gold Wing, a car on two wheels. Might as well ride a two seater convertible.
Harleys, I still think Honda made a bike in 1969 which has a motor with better volumetric efficiency than any Harley more than 40 years later. It was easier and more fun to ride also.
Any cruiser. Something really heavy with lack of performance belongs at the bottom of the ocean as a boat anchor.
A three wheeler may be fun, but I sure would be embarrassed if my friends see me on one.
