Maybe 30 years ago. Back and neck hurt now just looking at 'em. Can't imagine driving beyond an hour on one before having to stop and realign the spine.
I knew what the HP/torque rating of my America was going in. Pushed a few more ponies out of it just for giggles. I'd own a 675 if I wanted to go really fast. I can afford it, but choose not to. Where do I need to go that fast?
Pretty bike (Daytona 675 Special) though, just not my pint of Guinness.
I'm not buying the one's safer than the other argument. Safety's based on the discipline of the rider.
Regards,
Tom
