^Mainly because the only bike I would want is something fuel injected and shaft drive (or a 2002+ vfr).
On the Kat, when I got to the motel, I put the bike on the stand, searched a soft bag for a can of chain lube,spun the rear tire and sprayed chain lube on the chain.
On the C14, wow, shaft drive! I merely put the helmet in the trunk and walked to brew pub to get my reward of 4 pints of ale.
It is the little things that help you appreciate a modern bike.

1) reduce power to the wheel because of the 90 degree gearing
2) most shaft drives I've rode (4-wheelers) lift the arse when you accelerate, were a chain drive squats (ride a honda rubicon and you'll know what i mean!)
3) pain in the arse to change the rear tire
4) if anything ever breaks they can be EXPENSIVE!
i'll stick to a bit of chain lube after a long ride IMHO

Maybe they think it means pooOriginally posted by soulless kaosbut personaly I dont see a point in a 1000 you can get the same power from a properly tuned 600 with less weight and better handeling.
