I think it is about time they woke up. Ever see how the Japanese work? Makes my office look seriously chooshy. I'm not joking, either. I was absolutely dumbfounded to see how they do it. The room my company worked out of was fairly large but there were no private offices just rows and rows of desks. Everyone had a laptop and a phone. The light came from overhead. The noise in there was about deafening but EVERYONE was working.

And they start young; it begins in primary school. No AC and heated only by a small pot-belly stove in each room.

Not a trike silly You can get the joy out of riding on much less of a machine. That bike is also not forgiving at all from mistakes you might make as a new rider. Not a bike you can pin in first gear without having the front come up and the riding position doesn't have you sitting up as much.

Maybe look at a SV 650 or ZZR 600.
That's good advice.

600CC race reps are awesome machines, like buying a street legal F1 car.

They are however unforgiving when mistakes are made and very expensive to fix if they are dropped.

I have owned a few Yammies

My R6 track bike



FZR 400 track bike



FZ1 street bike



Real old school FZ600, bought new in 86

Agreed... I'm with Obama on that one. I think they should have to work for free so long as they need the money. The markets don't like that one because they say it drives away the talent. I say because those asshats have been making kazillions of dollars a year for most of their professional careers. They can live on the cheap while the company they are supposed to be helping gets back on their feet.

Honestly - those things scare the crap out of me. Yes they are awesome, powerful & I don't know the 1st thing about them. I just equate it to getting on a roller coaster that does loops, etc. with no bars & you're naked with razor blades whipping by your unit. The risk of getting it sliced right off is too great.

I am officially pissed at Chad. I don't need his horseshit. If he wants to get pissy with Brian, I am going to back Brian. That is how I'm rolling on this one and he can stick it up his ass if he don't like it.
