You have answered your own question right here.However, yesterday I got on the same bike again, and I wasn't scared, the power didn't come as a suprise to me, I felt in control. I wasn't afraid of it. I have never been afraid of the bike, but simply what I might try to do ON the bike. That being said, it is a comfortable bike, it's weight didn't bother me, i didn't at any time feel out of control, The clutch was different then my SV, but never did I feel that I wasn't in COMPETE control.
You are ready for the busa, my son.
Now come over to the dark side.
