I agree, take the bullet. People ride them around the world and back. I recently took my BMW K100RS on a two day trip to the Sierra mountains. It was fast, smooth, and reliable. I kept wishing I was on my bullet! My head played the sound of my bullet over and over and the BMW was terrible on the dirt roads and I had to rev it up on steep curvy roads where my bullet would have just chugged up. A month later I did almost the same trip on my bullet and loved every second. It took longer but I saw more sights, took a few more breaks, and consequently met more interesting people. When I got home I sold the Beemer.
