Text messages with my youngest brother Daniel right after he was paralyzed:
Me: Hey Dan-O. Just wanted to say howdy & love ya!
Dan-O: Howdy and Love you too. Doing good, feeling good.
Me: Give 'em hell, Little Bro!
Dan-O: Roger that!

By the time I got my Katana; which has been modded to 18" wheels front & rear, I was so used to the 16" front on The Tractor, I couldnt believe what a pig of steerer the Kat was. Nearly got me into serious trouble a couple times.

Having 2 or more bikes with differing handling traits can be a recipe for disaster. You need to constanly remind yourself which one you're on and adjust your riding style accordingly.
Apart from the "stand up" tendancy, the only major differences between
my 850 and the 1150 is top end performance and braking allowances into corners. The heavier 850, handles high wind conditions (especially side winds) better, but the 1150 is more comfortable with the fairings in moderate wind and over longer distances.
I plan to keep the 1150 in it's present form ( near original) and use it for longer trips. The 850 will stay and be used as a casual comuter and used on shorter one day trips.
Here is another pic that the PO supplied me.
