Am I the only one?

If you can afford to, then buy something else for commuting/general road use but keep the litre bike and go racing. At least until you're really sure it's not worthwhile keeping it...

Yep, think long and hard about the decisions ahead of you.

I know what you mean... I brought an RGV250... problem solved! Even going over 100 in a straight line becomes fun again

But am I the only one finding that sports bikes on the road simply aren't fun any more?

Apparently you're not the only one. At least judging by some of the softcock posts we see here. Go get yourself a Motard if it's a worry...

Or am I just a homo?

While we may have our suspicions, I can't answer that one (thank goodness)

no you aint the only one,every one of you guys will get there,some where between where you are now and a bike that does thrice the speed limit in first,all of ya are gona think why aint this givin me a chubby any more and the answer my son is because the sensation your brain needs to release endorphins, your very own happy drug, is called FUN.Fun can be speed or sex or many varied things but it is never ever the same thing over and over again.whilst your bike may have thrilled your bollocks off once it doesn't any more because yer brains expierienced it all before and is just plain bored with blattin from point a to point b all the spiggin time.
My homo advice to you is,if ya think bikes is still where ya wanna play,test ride everthing you can get your mitts on and I just bet one o them babies will bring a smile back to your face cause ya brain will turn on to somat new,Don't give in to peer preasure,your mates aren't your best mate you are.ride what you enjoy

sorry no idea where this shit comes from I just write and out it comes

Remember it is more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow....

This is the attraction of a nicely tricked out two-stroke scooter - 120 kph plus on 12 inch wheels @20,000 rpm gives you a great sense of speed and puts a stupid grin on your face....

get off your flash thing and get onto a 1986 suzuki gs550( with no farring). that thing shakes so hard that your scared shitless round every corner (even at a slower speed).
then you find that the old adrenalyn that you had lost comes back!!!

Sanx your thinking similar to me of late. I dont do track and basically just cruise along but with 1200cc its just no fun basically just point and squirt, no feeling that the bikes working at all unless your way over the speed limit. I think next year I'll join the smaller is better maybe something like a W650 or Bonneville or praps one of the older jap bikes where you know the bikes working at more sensible speeds and you get to the end of your trip thinking "that was fun". Old age does funny things ay!
