Sweet. Bikes are a lot of fun. I've been on the street 10 years this summer. My main street ride is a '00 R1, but I've got to move on. I've been spending a lot of time in the dirt, racing in the woods the last few years, and I can't differentiate between dirt and street anymore. I find myself subconsciously pushing the limits too hard on the street, so I have cool it before I punch my ticket out a little early. Already got bit in the dirt this year... I took that as a sign.
I'm actually looking to go with a '05 HD Sporty Roadster - I love the new styling. Either that or a lazy dual sport.
Anywho... You can PM me about this stuff if you want... Especially if you have any feedback on "standard" style bikes within the last few years...

I ran a 220/220 for a little while, and I felt as though it was too much duration for daily driving.

Seriously though, and you know this already I'm sure, think of your cam and heads (even headers, and induction) as a system, not seperate pcs. Kinda like how Edelbrock does with their systems(just an analogy not a recommendation here folks), or the stock system. When you get this combo right, thats when a N/A engine really comes to life.
