After hanging out here for 2-3 months, posting a little, observing a lot....I've come to the conclusion that you're all a bunch of small penis'd, typical squids, and yes I DO own a Busa. For some reason, your frail egos are afraid to admit that the 12R is a very close equal to the Busa. Why are you so concerned? Are your lives SO shallow that you need the comfort of knowing that your precious mount is a couple mph faster? You guys are all talk and all crash. I can't believe how many of you "riders" have crashed you bikes, or let them fall over off the kickstand. Jesus, put them in GEAR! Sure you can ride squidly fast, so can I. I've been riding for 20 years, have owned MANY street bikes, and have NEVER crashed, ever. Why do your manly riding habits have to affect my insurance rates? It pisses me off. You all seem to pack guns when you ride, you all seem to own some year Camaro, two true signs of white trash. I bought this bike because *I* like it, not because a bunch of dumbasses on the internet think it's cool to max out their credit cards on thousands of dollars of performance products so they can save a little weight, or gain a handful of horsepower that they'll never use anywhere unless they hit the dragstrip every Saturday. You're all probably the type of riders that would rather sit around with other riders and talk about their bikes than actually going/riding somewhere, what a waste. Call me an elitist snob, that's fine, because I am. See you in my rear view while you're talking about and stroking your Busas, when I'm out actually riding. I've wasted enough time writing up this shite to you morons. Ride what you own and STFU! Buh-bye.
