80tq: Interesting Point of Reference

[james accordino]

In a big way, I must agree.  I had 2 GSXR-750's.  At
the time, I would have said they were the "best bikes"
on earth.  BUT at certain rpm ranges, the NVH was SO
bad, it would make your hand and arm go numb.  But the
smiles per mile!  Yes, if you're barnstorming, I think
it'd probably be a great car.  But to commute 240-260
miles per day.  Every day.  I don't think I be smiling
as much.  That's all.  Just your perspective.

Thanks
Jim Accordino
ps- if the plastic "buzzes", the NVH sucks
