can I just throw a spanner in the mix here??
How about a Beemer K1200R? (or the newer K1300R) It's fast enough to keep up with gixer 1000's etc, but comfy enough & enough power etc to go touring - fast or lazy. (we went to the South of Spain 2's up fully loaded & still got 70 MPH out of her **biker speak...times it by 2! **
My ex had a Busa (one of the first ones) & I loved it (from a pillion perspective), But Dyllis as she is affectionately known just has the edge on the Busa IMO. Also Spesh reckons that the Beemer is more easy to handle (chucking round bends etc) than the Busa as it's a bit shorter and a better seating position (for him anyway).
Not a lot of people think about Beemers being rowdy rebel's, but if you've ever been out on a ride with Spesh then I think you'd change your opinion
(even 2's up!)
