The MSF is great, I went straight from my course to picking up a used GSXR 600 back in '06. Rode it a year and a half before I got the itch to upgrade.
Got a great deal on a Demo '07 Hayabusa and I was in love, slid out on some gravel on the crest of a hill a month later. Totalled and I was out for 2 weeks. (45 mph)
Took a 2 year break, got a custom chopper that broke down all the time. Fixed it, sold it. took a 6 month break.
Then in fairly rapid succession- 05 SV1000(sold) 07 GSXR 750(sold), 04 Yamaha R1 (sold) 08 Hayabusa (stolen) 01 CBR 929(sold) Currently bikeless.
It stays with you, I bet even the guys who quit feel the pull. It's very emotional. Let me also be a lesson in economics, if you like a bike a lot- that's your bike. Don't go through a ton just to figure out you liked the first or second one the most. (Hayabusa for me)
It's weird how quickly you know what you like. Even just sitting on one with it idling you decide pretty quickly what you like or dislike.
Sat on a Harley today that sat too low and put my feet too far forward...didn't like it. CBR600(?) and Gsxr750 felt pretty nice but not as comfortable and right as the V-Strom. I was glad to validate my preferences and wasn't let down from what I expected.
