yep the japs should stick to bikes!!!! all my bikes were jap jobbies and never gave me any sh!te!!! all quick and liked tuning (especially my suzuki gsxr1100l, stage 2 head ,cams, filter, exhaust, etc 150bhp+at the wheel, oh yeah extended swinging arm (150mm) for long wheelbase quick starts!!!(still wanted to wheelie like a mother!!)

I know the feeling! My Brother had an 88 GSXR1100 one of the old hypersport jobs. What a beast! One of my old riding partners had a ZX-12 with an extended swingarm. Rode like a dream it did. Smoothed all the chop out of it and kept the front wheel planted. The last bike I had was a 99 R1. That thing was fun. I weigh about 175 and had a hell of a time kepping the front wheel down through 3rd if I was on it hard. I wound up downing it through a roundabout and called it quits on bikes for a bit. I was going straight on through the roundabout at about 55 and a land rover pulled out in front of me. I had no choice but to either hit the land rover or go straight over the hump in the middle of the round about. not a good move at 55. Took to the air and when I landed it got into a bar slapper that i couldn't get back out of. walked away from it sore but in one piece but never saw anything of the car driver. Another bloke in a car behind me chased him down and got his reg number for me though. The Ducati was a fun bike. Handled quick like a dirt bike and had loads of low end torque. a bit lean on topend compared to the modern bikes but did all i wanted. After having that twin cylinder I think I would be after an SP2 if I went out to buy a new bike today. Thinking about getting a big trailie though
