If I had the space and budget I'd like to have a sportbike, tourer, and a dirt bike or super-moto to go with the Harley. If I had all of those, I'm sure the Train would still get plenty of miles too. The motorcycle world is too segregated now withso many guyslooking down on people who ride other styles or brands than themselves. I love all bikes.

DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I sold mine to a buddy; and I'm upset I did. Don't get me wrong---I wouldn't trade my Harley for one---but I envy my buddies who have both. I get depressed watching AMA racing now [:@] I used to attend all those races in VA, AL, etc.

The Habayusa is technically a sport tourer. It is too heavy to be considered a real sport bike. I wouldn't want one.. I would prefer something that handles better and looks better.

I do own a Ducati Sport Classic. So I guess I am ok with Sport Bikes.

If I could afford it I would just like to have a 600cc to a 750cc type those are the fun ones, handle like a dream
and hell not to many places I would feel comfortable past 140 anyway.

I traded in my 04 Busa for the Night Train~ I thought about keeping both, but the wife still has hers (06 Busa) and my son has an 05 GSX600R~ All three sit in the garage, so if I ever do feel the need for speed, I just take the wife's keys and get it out of my system~ Although... jumping back and forth from forward controls to tucked under my calves controls can get very confusing... especially when you go to hit the rear brake! I hadn't had my NT but three days when I went to test ride the wife's Busa after changing out her exhaust system, and found myself actually looking down to find the pegs! It felt strange.. even after riding my Busa for three years and 24k miles~ I just can't go back and forth between riding styles, I guess~ [&:]

Do Sportsters count? If so, got a couple to go with the Springer. If not I am out of luck becase right now I think the wife's tolerance for bikes in the garage is peaked at three.

If I could add another one.....I've considered a Buell, maybe Ducati, and most certainly a V-Max. Used to jones for a V-Max when I rode my Magna. They just looked like a whole buch of engine with a seat taped on the back.
