How about the ZX12R or the new BMW (K1200??? dunno).
You want a flame? OK

Goddamn newbie squids trying to get the fastest damn bike they can without being able to handle it!!! Don't even think about getting on a BIG WHEEL until you've taken MSF BRC, ERC, 12 months of trackdays, and a personal supervisory ride with Racer X, Mick Doohan, and Valentino Rossi. Maybe then you'll be ready to get your poser, wannabe freight on a 250 for 18 months...that way you won't be screwing up MY insurance rates, crashing on MY roads, and generally making the public think that all sportbikers are 200+ mph maniacs who want to kill their neighbors, barbecue their babies, and hold a grisly cannibalistic feast before wheelieing off into the sunset with an open beer in one hand and an AK47 in the other.
Worse, you're 19. No nineteen year old should be even allowed to SAY the word 'Busa'. Plus, you're a know-it-all engineering 'intern' that think b/c he's wearing some $25 safety gear and happens to know the 3rd law of ThermoDynamics, he's ready to hitch a ride on the king squid killer bike. Obviously sportbikes aren't going to be comfortable -- THAT'S WHY THEY'RE SPORTBIKES. What are you using that brain of yours for at work, a seatcushion? Try applying those years of highschool that my taxes obviously paid for, and you might be able to add two and two together. Dumb ass kids were probably smoking pot in the back of class and snickering about the girl with the short skirt instead of getting any real world skills anyway.
And what's this shit about oil leaks? Any good bike is going to have to be MAINTAINED. Is the high and mightly engineer too good to pick up a wrench to fix his Gixxer? Do you know what I would have done for a bike at that age? MAN, I tell you what -- instead of fixing up his old toy, he just wants to move on to a new one and DUMP the old screwed up 750 on some poor bastard via CycleTrader. Lousy, lying, high-brow, ivory-tower academician that just wants the fastest possible toy without learning to ride it, learning to fix it, earning it through an increasing skill level, or relying on his own opinion.
Way to let the masses of sheep dictate how the river or your life will flow, Junior. Call me when you're trying to decide on the red stitches or the blue ones after you highside your new toy to the frockin' moon.
