Walt, that Katana will likely run away from me in the twisties, they are pretty lght aren't they, I love those air cooled zook motors.
Epi, I owned a Vmax before the Harley, and a V65 Sabre in high school (about the same as a vmax, both at one time were speedkings of the bike world), the busa is a bit faster, but stops and handles so much better than those two. I only seem to get in trouble on my slow bikes. Even my dirtbike was faster than my harley, granted it was a 500CC two stroke. This is about my 12th or 13th motorycle, been street riding (legally) since 95 but riding dirtbikes since I was 13.
