But I don't think they are "wimps". That's just why everyone should have two bikes(or more).

I wish the Mrs would "let" me have a sport bike. "They are only used for one thing, and that's dangerous...yada,yada,yada" I'm trying to "sell" her on a new C14. We'll see.

Your a gun guy, right? Sport bikes are like guns- perfectly safe, inanimate objects that can be used with intelligence, or not. Sell her on the high-performance safety of great brakes and handling characteristics. Leave out the high power part until she's on the back and you have to quickly accelerate away from a hazard.
