I'm thinking of chopping in my old R1 next year for something less uncomfortable, and with more of a real world sport-touring focus.
Having a shedload of grunt is addictive, but less of a hunch over the tank/reach to the bars would be nice to have in my old age. I've always regarded the 'Busa as a bit of "my bike is fastest" cock-waving but thats probably the wrong attitude having never ridden one. I dare say they are probably better than I expect them to be.
Has anyone on here owned one and loved it / hated it / got bored with it ??
Are they any use for touring, or would an FJR be a better bet? I don't want a Blackbird or a similar engined BMW ( my GSA is a keeper though).
Thanks in advance
