The most important thing you said was 'I' m invisible on a bike '.... Remember that any new motorcyclist, it will keep you alive. Most car drivers are not paying sufficient attention, rarely see bikes, frequently don't see other cars, or even trucks and buses. Every time you swing your leg over think... NOW I' M INVISIBLE.

I find that most people do the wave here in Chicago, but it could be because we have much less bikers and a shorter riding season than in much of Europe, so seeing a fellow glutton for punishment on an early spring or late fall day creates a sense of comradery. I've even accidentally given a wave to a motorcycle once before realizing I was on my bicycle that day! Only got a bemused look in return :)

A lot of power, which is good, but much more power than needed for normal road trips. A 750cc engine is all you really need. 5. It runs very hot.

Years later I bought a new 83 Motto Guzzi Le mans which also was great to ride not as easy as the Darmah but a lot of fun. So I don't know what your talking about the new panigale being so easy to ride. My SD was very easy to ride it turned so easy at slow speed also. I also had a Gold wing for a while I forgot what year. I was my brothers bike and I bought it from him. Probably about a 83 or so.

I may get a bike again. Was looking at older one the ST 3. Or if I found a nice SD. But the Panigales interest me now and your review on the streetfighter impressed me. Maybe they come out with a V2. Maybe it's the power that the bikes are producing now that makes you feel the way you say and I never pushed my bikes very hard anyway.But I was often over 100 mph on trips.

Completely agree the HJC helmets are always very comfortable, that's possibly why they are the best selling helmet in the USA.
