    cue "linkin park - what I've done."

    Dawn, you need some instruction on basic weight-shift+countersteer combined cornering on open-road corners at around 120 clicks. Once you have seen (and felt) this you will see the birth of a sportbike rider, and discover the art, beauty, and science or what your bike was really intended for, and if you do see it, possibly what you were intended for.

    I've got a '92 Suzuki Sepia. It's good for shopping and riding around town.

    I use it for riding around town, but the only reason I brought it was that it was only $100. Pretty good around traffic the old scooters, better than a bike. Much smaller and steer quicker. I use a bigger bike for riding out of town or racing at the track.

    I will ride a scooter when only in the Islands, dont really get a choice there.
    But they are fun, if only for a short while.

    For many years I have had both a scooter and a bike, one for town one for the road. But I had a 'senior moment' last year and purchased a new Burgman 400cc scooter.
    It only took me a few days to see that I no longer needed a bike for the road so I sold my sweet Aeramacchi.
    The Burgman has big enough wheels to make counter steering easy and will cruise at 150kph (so the Americans say, I have only been up to 145) and it still has the versatility of a smaller scooter in the city. My advanced age (75) makes get the leg over a bike a hassel so the step through is great. The 400cc K7 Burgman was given the best maxi scooter award in the USA last year.
