Thinking of buying the GSX, but you are afraid it's too fast? I am living proof that it can be slowed down. Although it can reach speeds up to 150 mph, I tend to crap my pants over 70 mph (112 kph for you outbackers). My videos (I simply post for my own amusement) show that even an old guy can have fun on this machine. For all you GSX650F addicts:

Thanks for the comments everyone. Riding a few hours on weekends and commuting back and forth to work is about all the touring my rear end can take!
