Your comments about the hyabusa were interesting. Where is the engine´s fun range; at some point across the massive powerband it has to be a real hoot. BTW, I have a R-III and it really grunts from low down all the way to 140 where it is artificially limited. It really is a trip. At age 62 I´v ridden a few bikes, this one is a real trip, a Triumph I´ve been waiting for since my 70 Bonneville. Have fun, ride fast. OH Yeah, the poser ****´s comments below about jap crap, how infantile.
