    Shekels for the VFR have finally arrived so I am in the market for a
    bike. I'm looking for something in the 2-2.5k range, good for touring
    (I've liked the Pan Euro), solid, reliable, all that good stuff.

  9. I've always wanted one. What's it like to own and ride? Is it decent
    for a pillion?

  15. I'll have to short list if for my next bike. I've loved all the
    Suzuki's I've owned. The GSX-R 1000 is easily my favorite litre bike
    and at one point I've owned all 4 major jap brands built between 05 and
    07. Also loved my V-Strom. The Busa sounds a lot like a Blackbird but
    with better cornering and a bit more soul.

  16. I did an MX bar conversion on my streetfightered 05 CBR1000RR and it was
    bloody great around town but at speeds over 100mph it really felt like
    the hand of god was trying to pull you off the back.
