I'm sold. Sportbikes for life.

I'm the opposite. The sportbikes in my collection are the Hayabusa and the TLR. I probably will not buy another sportbike ever again. I'm not selling them, I just won't be buying more like them. I love the BMW I recently picked up, and that bike will make me happy for years to come. The KLR is a means to an end. Not sure what will happen to it when I come back from Prudhoe Bay later this year. I guess how it treats me on the trip will determind that.
I tell ya what though, cracking the throttle open and running full tilt through the first 5 gears on a Busa is a spiritual experience. I shut it down just as I shifted into 6th, as the crosswind at 170mph was beginning to get a bit rough.
