Picked up a non-ABS yesterday. Put 230 miles on it today. Although break in limi ts were adhered too, I ran it up to 95 mph a few times at 5000 rpm. It appears to be at least as quick as my 2000 'busa, while being easier on the wrists and back. Wind is not a problem up to about 85, and when I got the tires scuffed up (after 100 miles or so) it handled extremely well. I'm looking forward to using the complete rev range of the motor. Final word: a true sportbike with more relaxe ergos.
