I have gone to the dark side

I'm almost 43 years old and have owned bikes off and on since I was 16. Starting with a Honda MB5, then a KZ550, a GSX450, LTD454 (man I loved that bike), and the only bike I bought brand new a VX800, another KZ550, a 2nd gen Magna, and my latest bike a 00' GSXR600.

So I like old school standards and cruisers...or so i thought

But this gixxer has me hooked. This bike is so much fun, and SO much safer than any bike I've owned. It is so light, so maneuverable, and the brakes are outstanding. It can stop a full 20 feet shorter than my Magna in my panic stop tests. It's over 100lbs lighter and has twice the brakes. 20' could mean your life.

I have no idea why I never owned a sportbike. I've done 150 miles in a day on this thing and it is MUCH more comfortable than I EVER thought a sportbike would ever be. I plan on taking to my mom's place in the mountains of WV on a 300 mile ride and I'm not even sweating thinking about it.

I can't see me ever owning anything but a sportbike from now on.

Life begins at 10,000 rpm :D
