    What is it that you DON'T like about your bike?

    Had a thought and I love my Bike, an '07 Busa but:

    There's no gear indicator

    Footpegs are too high, = major leg pain after 60 min and sore arms from holding on

    Limited storage = very limited

    Speedo error ...way out ( 10 % at lower speeds )

    Turning circle is minimal and impossible to oil the chain without a 'Bike stand' or a spare 10 minutes on your knees inching the bike along incrementally squirting hoping you hit the target on the link, you never do ....

    Whats wrong with your ride ?

    It's a bit of an orphan - hard to get parts like huggers for it.
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    The seat is a bit thin. If I sit the wrong way and get off after about 40 minutes my nether regions (I mean the front ones) are numb and tingly. When I walk it tickles and makes me walk funny.

    Single seater


    Other wise love it
    To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

    Apart from the butter forks and it eating chains (Due to shops not putting the damn back wheel straight, rawr.), all I could think of is a little more power so it can NOT SIT at 10-11krpm on the motorway. Otherwise I love her
    Some people just can't seem to comprehend that they do not have the right to be unoffended in their lives.

    That everybody thinks it sucks and are quite happy to tell me that.

    The only thing really wrong with it is the seat is too hard.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    The fact that the bike/rider combination is SO cool that by the time I stop and take all the helmet and gear off the yummy chickie spectating me is already at the post coital smoke stage
