The Goldwing was an experiment that just didn't work out.
Swapped it for a new 2010 ZX-14 this afternoon.

Thanks, Justin!
I left the house with the intention of buying another Busa, forgot Sun didn't handle Suzuki, and was really taken by the bike.
I'm not riding again until the road dries up...water is one thing, but mud is another!

Good luck with her.
I had an '06 for two years, put over 20,000 trouble free miles.
The only reason I sold it was because I have a very hard time controlling my right wrist.
They are IMO the best

Not that I'm OC or anything....but it was bugging me why the color combination on the bike was soooo attractive.
Finally figured it out:
I always liked these trucks.....

Grats man.
The bike I'll be looking at in about 4+ years, along with it's kanji tattooed rival. (Assuming I don't kill myself on this thing first...)

Thanks, Guys!
270 miles so far. 150 of that today. Still a bit chilly - in the 40's.
I did Buell pegs on the first day. Still sorting out my riding position. I get home with sore hamstrings.
Thank goodness I have my son's Busa to do the side by side comparison and measurements to figure out where to go.

Well, I already found an error in the Owner's Manual:
"Do not exceed 4000 rpm for the first 500 miles."
Should read "Do not exceed 4000 rpm
for extended periods
for the first 500 miles."
Passing semis on the interstate while accelerating to triple digits just seems natural....and safe!
