Not saying it can't be done... but the examples given are sport tourer's, not a true "sport" bike, IMO.

I personally consider the K1200S a sport bike. I alsoo consider the Busa a sport bike. I owned that 12 right before my busa, and besides being just slightly slower than my busa, the K handled better and was more "sporty" than my busa.

However neither are RACE bikes. I wouldn't have taken either to a track day. Who was the lunatic on CF that had the carbon fiber busa that was all over the net and in rags doing track days and killing everyone in socal with his carbon fiber busa? He was the code writer and problem solver......crap..can't remember his name

Was it Eugene? Sonic? Tried to go to the site and see if I could find the username, but all I get is a blank screen.

I remember him being the code write, but nothing about his busa.

I think Sonic was the code writer.

The Busa guy's name was Nick. I'm not sure if Nick was part of his username or not.

I want to say NickSlick but that may have been someone else entirely.

So you're saying I was close.

Can't say I remember ever seeing that name.
