Not quite full on Sportsbike (but near enough), I did a BM R1100S (a pretty trick one) to a Harley Sportster. Harley was fun and changed my mindset as to how to enjoy a bike: Just going out to 'shoot the breeze' (man) was more important and highly therapeutic.
Did get a bit frustrating at times but on the whole I had a good time.

I tried to go from a Guzzi Le Mans III with 1000cc big bore kit and 40mm Del Ortos to a California Stone 1100 Injection. And couldn't. Felt gutless. Sod it. Need a FAST bike.

Its true. Its the law. And I have a bit of a tassle aversion too.
The law also states that trogs on streetfighters are totall irrisistible to all redheads, and to Carol Vorderman.

When I make it to the UK, I'll be looking for a Thundercat or F4i (Cbr600f ??).
But If I had the money, I'd also buy a Valkyrie Rune!
Tassles or not, that bike rocks!
