Default what do you prefer

Me and a friend were out riding Saturday, and I took him down Clinton Rd. for the first time. At the end he said it was fun but he preffered going 110 down a straight away. What do you guys/gals like????

Go to a track and do both. Anyone can go fast in a straight line. It's the men who brake later.

While I generally prefer the twisties, this past weekend I learned to enjoy out right speed... nothing like going WFO in 5th gear on the back staight, 140 mph through the kink, only to brake in order to slow enough to make it through the carousel, onle to repeat again going wfo- this time hitting the limiter in in 5th 150+, slow down to about 90 for turn one... wahooo!!!!
I like twisties bestest, though.

I voted for twisties because there wasn't a "both" option

Like Ant said, you get both twisties and high speed straights at the track and that's where I like to be

I love a nice hilly, twisty road. The whole reason I bought a Vtwin

When I first started riding I was bored as hell, then I realized I needed to step up my game in the twisties and after that I was hooked!

110 on a straighaway....booooring. Twisties are more fun. Listen to me, I ride a couple times for the first time in years and I'm acting like I'm some big biker.

haha...is there something about a Busa that i should know about since people sound like its too much bike for me? I guess my first bike shouldn't be a 1300....even though I've ridden before...but no way I'm starting out on a Katana...I want a bike I enjoy riding cuz I like it...not cuz I'm learning...although the Katana is a lot more comfy riding than a Tiller.
