I don't want my bike to go fast ... and I don't want a fast bike.

I too old and slow to go fast on a bike.

Thanks.

It's fast enough to get me ahead of the cagers when the light turns green ... that's all I need.

Anything more just gets me into trouble.

That's the best part--it doesn't have to BE fast...just LOOK fast...

You cannot compair a GSXR to a R*, period. I'd sure hope you can out run a HD or any cruiser with a GSXR. And what GSXR do you have a 600, 750 or the 1000? Fast bikes all of them but there are some that are faster.

Crotch rockets are fast , hence the name. But lets see if thier riders can ( or would even want to) ride 300, 350 or 400 mi with the comfort a Roadstar can deliver. It's nice to reach a distant location and still be able to stand upright.

Yep, too right mate. To be able to run 500-600 miles a day over a number of days you need a good cruiser (or dare I mention it - a tourer) .
