Nice overtake on a highway, but... three words: corner at speed.

That good feeling is what we all crave.Seek it anyway you can.Always makes me laugh when these stories pop up and always it is the Busa boys that chime in.

Heh, it depends on which 250. My old 250 would destroy my RKC in any speed contest

My 96 cu in with perfomance upgrade mufflers, a/c, and SEST can't touch my co-workers CBR600 on the start or the finish. I also believe the bikes must have been 250 cc. BTW, another co-worker rides a busa, which would probably blow me away without hitting 3rd gear.

And here I thought this was going to be a heartwarming ditty about how you towed a crotchrocket with your HD and a rope after it boke down and you both spent the evening getting to know each other only to find that HD riders and crotchrocket riders really arent that different. Boy am I disapponted!
Dude take the ribbing in stride, knotted panties are uncomfortable riding apparel. Cheers!

I call bull$hit on that one, unless the rocket was running on a flat.

This was entertaining. I have a Yamaha R1 that redlines over 100mph in 1st gear, with 5 more to go! I just added a Harley to the garage, and it's fun for what it is, a torquey comfortable ride. I love them both for different reasons, but I find myself reaching for that Harley key more often then not!
