As some may already know I have a 95 Katana 750 (that is not running so well under braking) that I plan to sell it soon. I'm a daily rider, meaning rain or shine I'm out there and do a lot of commute riding (lane spliting and the like, so no gold wings in my future).
I have a car, but that is reserved for racing only these days. My wife's car is the grocery getter. But, what I'd like is a low maintenance reliable bike with good power. I like sport bikes, but I need something with a more long term comfortable riding position. The bikes on the top of my list are;
Hyabusa
V-Max
CBR1100XX
I really like the idea of the V-Max with the shaft drive, but I also like the CBR1100XX for the fuel injection. I know most of you are probably carb lovers, but I think FI ultimately will win out (low maintenance and so easy to fix). None of the above bikes seem to have both. The BMW K series is out -- just too expensive (they do have both FI & shaft).
Looking for anyone's impressions and thoughts on this topic. If you have taken any of the three listed bikes for a spin, I'd really enjoy your feedback.
