A big event for me has been the acquisition of a different motorcycle, and I have parted ways with my GSX-R750 to do that. The 750 is an awesome machine and I really enjoy it’s performance, but I said when I purchased it that it would likely be my last full-on sportbike and that I may be in the market for a different type of motorcycle soon, and I finally decided last year that the days of my riding in a near-race crouch were diminishing.
I got up to Americade this past week and again rode the Triumph Speed Triple, which is an awesome bike. I also rode a KTM Super Duke 990 twice and though it has the street fighter seating positioning, I do not enjoy this V-twin at all; the shaking is unbearable. I got to talking with a friend about how much I liked his bike and that I had my eye out for one like it this past year, and he said he thought that there may be one at a local dealer. Hmph, and I’ve been looking up and down the East Coast... I went there Friday, saw it, and bought it.
