oh yea I agree a hyper bike can tear it up, I have watched a hayabusa take an R1 on the outside line.
and I know that connies rock they just arn't for me
shoot I have seen what a goldwing can do and they rock too! but still not for me.
I am a little old school in my thoughts about motorcycling, me the bike the road and as little extra stuff as possible. my GPS is a map folded up and visible through a window in my tank bag.
shaft is great for no maintenance but with that much power I would think that the shaft jack would be intense, if I am wrong please tell me because I have never ridden a connie and they could have taken care of it beautifully. I know that a connie or FJR would be addicting but the styling isn't for me and its just too soft and cushy, with its big adjustable windshield heated everything and power outlets; it would make me weak
lol
what would I do when I got back on my buell with none of that stuff? (maybe cry[sad])
this with soft bags and an aux fuel tank is my long haul wet dream, and if a connie shaft drive doesn't jack I would find a way to retrofit it on there too
now you get a guy that can run circles around sport bikes while riding a hyper bike I bet he would really put it down if you put him on a sport bike
but that doesn't make a hyper bike a bad handling bike by any means (or a sport touring bike for that matter)
