The black one I ride. In fact, I am going for a long ride tomorrow. The white one just sits because I am terrified of it.

A close relative lost control on a bike looking like that...his right leg is messed up and he is lucky to have survived.

Hopefully I'll lose control of the Hayabusa in the spring if somebody with bigger cajones than me takes it off my hands.

Be careful on that thing Marc, I'll bet it doesn't take much throttle at all to stand it up. Hell, my last bike had wire spokes - '78 KZ650 . I haven't ridden a bike since the early '90s. Too congested here.

As I said, I won't ride it. It does have a 6 or 8 inch extended swingarm to help keep the front wheel down.

Not for me neither, I'm a cruiser sort by physique and temperament.

Doh. I guess it would help if I actually read what you wrote.

I had a 1974 Honda 550CB.

That was back in the day when motorcycles actually looked like motorcycles.
