Got the VFR because I was traveling and got tired of having the 250's engine scream down the highway and wanted more comfort. Kept the 250 for awhile but sold it for the cash.

Got the ER-6N to have something lighter the throw around in town.

All you guys say you need to push it to have fun on a sportbike or you feel like your wasting the bike's potential.

Maybe bc i dont have the great riding roads closer to me and NJ is flat as a 12 year old girl?

Everytim I go down south I fall in love with my bike all over again.

Dude, all you did at the rally was ride as fast as possible.

Nope. I'm one of those too. I don't need to go fast on the street to enjoy it. I just don't want to go too slow (under speed limit) that I get bored and start falling asleep (which has happened many times, especially during poker runs).

I think it was more riding to impress people... even at the first rally...

funny thing did the opposite for me... just made me wanna be as far away as possible

Also didn't know you went down. Good you were able to ride it back home. I probably wouldn't be able to ride on the street anymore either with thoughts like that stuck in my head .

No, I'm pretty damn slow. I've noticed a trend though that, like most who have said they go slower, there are no good roads around here either.

Haven't "switched" but the wife and I would like to add two cruisers or whatever you call a Yamaha Star Raider or a Victory Vegas Jackpot or say a Harley Dyna Wide Glide or even the VRod.

I like hanging with both groups of riders and like both styles of riding but I do enjoy riding a sportbike more than the cruiser.

Dude I'm saddened, one of my goals for this riding season was for us to hook up for some riding since you had picked up the GSXR up off and around 421/Shady Valley etc....

I have little interest in sportbikes any more. Not my thing. But I dont have a desire for a bike payment again so I'll keep the Buell.
