How about a newer VFR? Sweet bikes and you don't see those that often.

Such as:
Fucking sickness. Drewpy, are you paying attention? I have a spray gun and we can build a booth in my garage... Black is beautiful... DO IT.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking when I read the first post. The RC, and pretty much all v-twins have souls... the Busa, as refined and perfect as it is (for what it was built for), to me... it's just boring.

As far as comfort is concerned... if Drewpy can ride 4,000 miles in 10 days cross country on an RC, I think your 20 mile per day commute would be bearable. From what I gather the heat issue won't be a problem because you speak of 'open highway' during your commute so I guess traffic is marginal. However, if traffic is a problem, just buy a fucking scooter.

That said... V-Twin FTW... ALWAYS.

You could just get a more bad ass VFR.

If Kerry could only talk me into the super charger kit he wants so bad. That is what you should do Racer. Through a super charger on your old bike and it will be like a whole new animal. Takes it from 100hp to 160hp.

Here is the link.... http://www.aaperf.com

Talk about a sleeper!!

This is Kerry's. Mmmm Sweetness!

What I find funny about that pic is that they show the pipe coming up for an under tail exhaust but it doesn't have an under tail exhaust.

Didn't even noticed that until you said.
