Biaggi is just lucky Spies went to Moto GP.

At idle, without a doubt. But, once under way it is seriously one of the least vibrating bikes I have ever ridden. The rubber mounts dampen it very well once the engine mounts are planted, anywhere after about 2000rpm.


At idle, it will move across my driveway. Once under way, I have never had numb feet or hands and can honestly say there is no noticable vibration once it's going.

No arguments on performance or vibes, you get what you pay for just like your vette/GT comment.
Well, I said your is BETTER...are you saying that they are not? Well, I think that Marko's bike is more comfortable than mine anyway.

Not on same page with ya Lamps.

No, i agree the ergos are better. Not much more to comment on there. Buell kool aid is giving me a hangover, LOL.

I like mine, good for the price, good for the application, definitely doesnt stack up to a 20 Thousand dollar anything...

That outta the way Biaggi makes the V4 look brilliant, Camier not so much, BMW seems the better showroom bike, but modified the Factory Ape looks hard to beat.

Yep, and it doesn't bother me at all. When I first saw someone riding a strom, I thought, WTF is that thing? But after riding mine, I fucking love it.

Totally agree! I wondered what you were taking issue with... I also agree that the BMW seems to be a great bike out of the box.

I had the same relationship with my 'Busa. Hell, you can't see the bike from the seat anyway!
