Mine won't go quite that fast
I know exactly what you mean about the military and bikes, I have friends at McDill.
Even if I had a bike that could go that fast, I don't think I would even try.
The military does have extra rules and some actually make a lot of sense.

I agree T!!
I took a long ride today with some of the Hayabusa forum guys. At one point, I had mine up to 120, that's effortless. It feels like 75 in a car. They passed me like I was standing still at around 175-180. Pretty cool so see but I ain't going there!
I was driving home the toher day, saw a guy riding one, looked kinda like that, but no blue on the front.
I must say, he was the first BAD BIKER that i have EVER seen! serioulsy, i have seen STUPID ones... i have seen CRAZY ones, but never.. a bad one
That being said!
NICE BIKE! :drool: Those are sexy, and wow.
they make me smile, especially when travelling in packs
as soon as i can afford the insurance, im going to do some bike hunting, as we have a billion here in colorado. have a few groups that meet at a shell station when the ricers arent there poluting the atmostphere. (ya know.. drilling holes in their muffler.. removing it all together.. removing the cat...)

Wow... Awesome dude. . . Congratulations!!...
I'd love one of those, but I decided against a street bike.. I know myself too well, and I'd probab;y end up doing something stupid with a bullet right under me!!!...
I was looking at the Triumph Speed Triple. Awesome looking bike.. It's got that "raw power" look to it. And it has excellent reviews.. . But I think when I buy, it'll be a cruiser.. .
Beautiful bike though, just BE CAREFULL!!! (don't want to sound like your mom or anything, but they can get dangerous)

As soon as the Buell gets a new wiring harness, I'll sell it and get a cruiser. I need something the wife and I can ride two up. We can do it on the Busa but she'd prefer a cruiser. The Busa will be my solo ride! After riding both types of bikes since I was 16, I feel MUCH safer on a sport bike. They will accelerate out of trouble as well as brake much faster. The are much easier to flick around for accident avoidance as well. I'm much more "on edge" riding a cruiser type bike in traffic. All 3 serious accidents I've had were on cruiser bikes. I guess getting rear ended at a stop light doesn't quite count but........the other two probably could have been avoided if I had better brakes.

Why don'y you get her a bike of her own. If not, you could always buy me one then.

IT makes sense to say that in actual fact , speed bikes are safer, cause you can manouver them faster, get you out of situations.. That's why I said, I know myself too well. 
Knowing that I got something that can bring me at over 280 KM's in a few seconds would be too much for me.
But you're right,. If you can control yourself, it makes a lot of sense..

T,
I all honesty, she averages about one minor fender bender per year with her Durango
She can ride the bikes, even enjoys dirt bikes. I just don't think she has the focus to ride on the streets and she pretty much agrees. We've been around and around this subject. I told her if she does decide to get a street bike, I'm taking out a huge policy on her, LOL!!! I'll sell you my Buell cheap, it's taking up valuable space in my shop. I'm probably going with the big Kawi Vulcan. That will haul both our A$$ES around just fine.Cheech,
In all honesty the Busa is a pussycat under 5K in second gear and above. Very easy to ride. Take it up over 7K and you unleash a true beast!! I've have enough sore bones to keep me reminded of that.
