Your kidding right? British bikes are all about “adjustments” just to keep them running!
Hence the song (tune from the Music Man) Work a little, ride a little, work a little, ride a little, Work a little… work some more... no, keep on work'n

cmartin, can't tell if that is a triple or a 4 cylinder...the 4 cylinders had engine management/fuel injection management issues according the reviews I read.
I think the triples get great reviews everywhere. I think 2006 brings a new triple engine - or at least a new model to the new Triumph label. What about the new Ducati collector series? I think THOSE are niiiice. If they came with only kick start they'd be even better. I like that Yamaha Harlequin posted a while back. I just wonder if a big guy on one of those would look like something unnatural was being undertaken?

they are fast, but not really same as all the other sportbikes. rather like a really fast, fast-looking, cruiser. my friend had one. fun to ride on highways...super stable, but too big for me. kawasaki used to make their sportbikes bigger and chunkier than others, which is why some hefty guys used to get them, but it's not the case anymore, at least for sportbikes. |

The busa is a beast but more than what what I'm looking for, at least at this time. A really like monster's, but they are a bit small for me. I get the feeling I could sign up for a side show riding a monster around. At this point comfy is more important than ultimate performance, hence the bmw's, maybe a VFR, something along those lines.
We'll see

Why not get the taller version of the monster, the SS and remove the short fairing? Better engine and seating position.

Very cool, too spendy for me, but very sexy.
