2001 Suzuki TL1000R vs. 2002 Honda CBR 954RR... another biased comparison.

I bought my bike for a few reasons..

I make more tq off of idle than most i4s make in their top 1/3rd.
The only maintenance on my bike is oil changes and primary chain adjustments.
It was about 4000$ less than an i4 1000, and that's new.
It has a 2 year unlimited milage warranty.
I see about 2-300 typical jap bikes for every Buell I see.
It performs beyond anything I need. I've only had it over 100mph a handful of times, and that was just to see how fast it would really go.

And, finally.. It's a street bike that is capable on the track. As opposed to most other people who buy a race bike and try to ride it on the street. Considering I spend 100% of my time on the street, it's much more practical.
