Thread: Bike Porn - Regardless of the motor, Show off your "two wheeled" beasties

I test-rode a Busa in Asia couple of decades back. Hell on my aging wrists and back, but quick as. Did not buy.

Settled for an MV Agusta F4 for a couple of years; temperamental as any Italian girl would be, and prone to overheating in traffic, but when on full song... just, wow.

Commuted on a Sporty, and toured to Malaysia and points north (Thailand, Vietnam etc) on an air-cooled Dyna, really reliable.

I don't miss my earlier 70s and 80s bikes at all though - all the time either dealing with the Prince Of Darkness (Lucas electrics) or seriously rubbish drum brakes, plus frequent carb rebuilds and shin-barking kickstarters, not to mention board-rigid seats; and did I mention shit brakes?

But for crossing prairies, deserts and cornfield territory and riding the PCH... a V8 bike is the bees' knees. IMO. YMMV.
