I know what you mean I was banned the first day at the repsol forum. They seem to have an entitled attitude.

I'm intending to enjoy it a lot. Hopefully my brain will cooperate with my throttle hand, at least most of the time.

I recently went the other direction. Just let my '04 Ducati ST4S go after graduating to the dark side with my first ever Harley '10 SG. Found myself on the SG all the time and the Duc gathering dust. Sold it to a guy in England who really wanted it and could enjoy and appreciate it for what it was. With all the bikes I had over the last 40+ years I can't remember enjoying the ride like I do with my new Harley. Enjoy your new ride and stay safe. Anything with two wheels and a motor is all good IMO!

Gave up mine 25 years ago for the exact same reasons, although I some times find myself doing that with the Harley's. Please ride safe brother.

That's one thing I'd forgotten. That and the riding position. I got used to the forward controls, and comfortable riding position pretty quick on the Harley. Now, I'm readjusting.

Stick around Jason. You're part of the family. I sold my 06 FJR last year... damn I miss that bike. If I could afford it, I'd have another one in the garage. Geez

I have a love for sportbikes too. That is why I have a Busa and my Harleys. Nothing like a high performance engine.
