Unfortunately the price. Otherwise I agree.

Almost an MX5. Until you stop and have to put your feet down.

Surely the weight?
Maybe you should consider a car?

1100 Tuono does 160hp and at least doesn' weigh the same and the Picton ferry.

If you keep a bike on its axis it balances.

If you lean it, as long as it has enough power, it balances.

Weight means nothing when you know how to handle it.

if the 160 hp with the weight of a whale gives you a hard-on, just buy a fuckin R1M and slap a pack rack on the back.

Hmm, lets see.

No stereo. No heated seat. No cruise control. Comfortable as an uncomfortable thing after 8 hours. No weather protection.

I guess it depends on what sort of riding you do.

Now, where are my pipe and slippers...............

To Lardy and expensive to keep, Get a RT/LC or Yamaha FJR 1300 6 speed .
Or wait for the new 1250 RT with VVT, here soon.

Not my cuppa but I think that stripped semi bagger GL1800 Goldwing Honda has looks smart for a touring oriented rig.

Seriously. Buy a fucking car. You can at least take some friends with you, if you have any.
