how do you keep your garage so clean though?
Funny, that was my question too.

Love the bike though. I like sport bikes, but every time I see an add for the Raiders I definitely pause.

I just traded in my ZZR600, this raider accelerates almost as good as the ZZR

I love this bike, but miss my sport bike really bad.

So i plan to get either ZX14, or a GSX-R750 or a GSX-R1000 in the spring.

Even a 06 - 07 10R would work

I rode a 08 Busa the other day, awesome bike, but not sure i would get used to how they look in the back.

What are they? SuperSport? Is a Hayabusa comparable to a ST1300?

Technically the ZX-14 and the Busa are Super Sport Touring bikes. Sport bikes are the usual CBR, GSX-R, ZX, R bikes. But they, in my opinion, are Supersports, sport bikes are more like the FZ and the SV and such to me.
That's just my two cents though!
