I hear you I use to love my Hayabusa too and after I scared the snot out of my self with it,, front wheel came up after shifting into 6th gear, I traded it in for the geezer glide, low slow and not to bad,, but when they rip half your guts out and replace joints, the fun becomes a moot point. Enjoy it while you can my friend,,, And remember something a very old rider ( may he rest in peace) use to say,,,, Ride as if you were invisible

Skeets and Mikester - certainly understand both views. Skeets and I have talked about soul.
Helped move these a few weeks ago. True to form, not re-badged.
The 500/428 was just puking gas from the carburetor. We pushed it out of the building, and had a fire extinguisher handy…..
A colleague found front bolts on the carb/bowl were loose. All good after snugging up. Cars are worth more than I am….
That said, my 2005 FXDI Harley was damned near maintenance free, and didn’t require any special understanding to ride. First experience with EFI on a motorcycle. Had to re-learn about riding when 30 degrees, and not allowing enough warm up time.

An Englishman and an Irishman go into a bakery.
The Englishman steals three buns and puts them into his pockets and leaves. He says to the Irishman: “That took great skill and guile to steal those buns. The owner didn’t even see me.”
“That’s just simple thievery,” the Irishman replied. “I’ll show you how to do it the honest way and get the same results.”
The Irishman then proceeded to call out the owner of the bakery and says: “Sir, I want to show you a magic trick.” The owner was intrigued so he came over to see the magic trick.
The Irishman asked him for a bun and then he proceeded to eat it. He asked two more times and after eating them again the owner says: “Okay my friend, where’s the magic trick?”
The Irishman then said: “Look in the Englishman’s pockets.”
