most comfortable sport bike i have ever ridden

was the honda f4i followed buy the zx 6r

i didnt read half the post but i know comfort was in question

and also anything you are riding on the street is about 1000 times more comfortable than what you would ride on the track

Do you think the majority of full size Hummers are used to their potential? There is a lot of excess on the roads today.

Don't get me wrong they're not blown away but from what I've seen they're for **** in the twisties, granted when we plane out on a straight I'm chillin in the back and the busa's a nothing but a spec on the horizon in front of me. And I wouldn't say its really the riders 2 of them have been hitting it hard for years on these bikes and 1 is a former superbike instructor from cali that just moved here.........hmm don't get it, I've never cared enough to ask maybe they're being cautious or they are worthless in the twisties.........anybody else have some input??
Actually the busa's are a bigger bike compared to 600 (duh). I'm not sure what your gixxer friends are riding but if they have the 600, the twisties would not be for the busa's to compete. It's not even fair to compare them at all. But when I referred to the "cornering" part... I was speaking for all sport bikes compared to cruisers. I like the busa's for the "cool" factor (over other sports bikes and that's only my humble opinion) even if i don't get to use more than 30% of their capabilities. I'm not fond of racing bikes... but in a straight away, the busa's have the advantage... That is also dependent on the rider.

good point, not to flip subjects but did anyone catch the show on spike TV late Sat. night I think, they went out with 3 brand new hummers and 3 garage built 4 wheeling trucks and it was pretty interesting by the end of the show all three hummers had busted tie rods maybe? (I'm a little mechanicly challenged ) but to describe both of the front tires were facing eachother angled like a V! Hahaha on all three! Maybe in manufacturing they got a little to concentrated on the "bells and whistles" and forgot whats important.

Anyway just thought it was funny, had to share

Speaking of Hummers, there's a local car show on TV here where they got to test a Hummer. Wanting to show it's prowess they had some sand hills available.

Within the first 5 seconds the tv car expert was stuck on top of a sand pile, looked like a teter toter, hung up by the middle with all four wheels off the ground.LOL
