Why do people always comment about how great they sound, and never how great harleys handle?

Other than that congrats

Looks good. Still don't care for how the fairing sticks past the front wheel a little, but other than that it looks good.

Somebody needs to tell Busa Shane that Busas don't handle well.

To think of all those years I looked at Busa's as a lighter, better handling alternative to my ZX-11

It is...isn't it ? I don't recall exactly but I 'thought' my 93 ZX-11 was heavier than the 05 Busa that I rode. I know the Busa has more power...yeah I know...duh. The Busa seemed like it handled better too.

Now I admit...I didn't look up the specs before posting this and haven't ridden a ZX-11 since 1998.
