To baby it or no worries

Do you drive your cars the same way? If not, why not? I don't get the mentality that if you are not going to keep the bike for 250,000 miles, be as rough on it as you can. Nobody buys an f6b so you can be the fastest bike on the road, because you are not. Why drive it like that? Why not get the fastest bike on the road if that is the goal? It's like buying a harley and paying for stage 4 engine work. You are trying to make it something it's not. I've never heard anyone say they chose the goldwing (or f6b) because hitting the rev limiter doesn't hurt it. What I have heard it is they chose the goldwing because of the smooth ride, comfort, ability, versatility, etc. Sounds like some here need to be on a hayabusa forum.

No I don't baby my cars either but they are automatics and for transportation where the bike is mostly for fun! Besides who ever said "be rough on it as you can"? Who ever said "be the fastest bike on the road"? You just make this stuff up? I'm too fat to ride a hayabusa but I do like to go above 4500 RPMs.

Riding around trying to hit the rev limiter on a touring bike doesn't sound that fun, or much like a great idea. I ride plenty fast and don't hit the rev limiter. Sounds like you would ride a hyabusa but it wouldn't be a good fit, so you ride as if the f6b were a hyabusa, which would explain the riding style. Most choose the f6b to ride as an f6b. To each his own. Be safe.

Once again you fabricate a sentence! "Riding around trying to hit the rev limiter" Judgemental a bit don't ya think. I think you might benefit if you go back and read all the post.

No more judgemental than this statement: "If you exist to gain satisfaction and pride from neurotically maintaining your vehicles, enjoy that also!"

My post you responded to wasn't aimed at you specifically, that's why I didn't quote you. I did pull the mileage comment from your post, but was not talking specifically about you, more to the general discussion.
