    I keep going from a TLR to a Busa and cant make my mind up-bloody mid life crisis.But im having fun getting my XT500 ready to go on the road.But i do think the vee twins are more fun.

    I'll be going back to IL4 for sure. Nothing like the power delivery.

    The Busa is great- smooth - great tourer,a lot better two up compared to the TLR, try one you will love it.

    I went from a ZX-10 to my Guzzi V11. Dropped 40 odd hp but don't care.
    Love the power delivery and the relaxed nature of it.

    There is a brand new 06 Busa at New Plymouth Motorcycles... I believe it's 17 grand or so, ride away

    This "debate" is very similar to 4 strokes and 2 strokes in Dirt riding.

    All the lazy riders ride the V-twins (4 strokes)
    All the fun riders ride the IL4's (2 strokes)
    Triples (Low/Midrange/Some top Tuned 2 stroke)

    I can't see myself going the other way ... from IL4 to V-twin. I get a hard on every time that power band kicks in

    Now if you're talking VFR .... hmmmm ....

    Happy with either. V twin if I'm being lazy or inline 4 if I want to have some fun.

    Love the twin. My fav bike is my Ducati.

    Brought a Triumph TT600 IL4 last week, primarily for the boy to ride.
    Rode it out the back roads last week and have'nt had that much fun on a bike for ages. High revs, engine screaming, mega power and speed if kept in the right rev range, loved it!

    Rode my Triumph Speed Triple yesterday, totally different to the twin and 4 but more like the 4 I reckon, but less engine revs.

    So I have a twin, IL4 & a triple, which is the best........fuck knows, like them all, but if I had to choose one on life or death.........twin!!!!
