Curious what bikes other people have? Personally I have a Honda CB400N from 1983. Been riding it around for 4 years or so ever since I got my license. It’s a wonderful bike, but a bit cramped for all the touring I do with it (I’m quite tall). Picture
Your first bike was a busa and you survived?
Yes, took the rider course and the experienced rider course, and respected the machine. Having more power can actually make for a smoother and safer ride. No need for 9k RPMs to get moving. It’s responsive in any gear, at any speed. It’s a lot less twitchy, more predictable than smaller bikes.
