Now, picture yourself on a KTM 450 Supermoto with a 110MPH top speed on some tight, twisty eastern southern IN road. 50-80 MPH 4 & 5th gear, hard on the gas, hard on the brakes.

Which would be more fun?
The hayabusa. I have owned two zx6rs and they were plenty fun no matter where I lived. I seriously doubt I would consider a bike under 600 ccs and a typical "sportbike." I'm actually considering a zx14 since I've gained weight and wouldn't mind being a little more upright.

I love how that little hint of where someone lives makes people prejudge your experience or driving habits.
