You don't actually NEED an Italian V-Twin, or a greyhound...but they do make life seem better

Re: Sports bikes
My only sports bike. Well, it was considered as one in its day - some 32 years ago! It was a real pleasure to ride and coped well with a number of track days.

Re: Sports bikes
Not my bike, but I owned a TL1000R briefly before giving it over to my son (wrong move);

Re: Sports bikes
Bought this new in '99 and still have it.
She's been all over Europe with and without camping gear and has over 70k on the clock and has never ever let me down,. It has a few simple mods to enable me to ride it all day (although these days they are a bit shorter...) Helli Bars (raised clip-ons), a link to lower the pegs a bit, Ohlins shock and 17" front wheel for better tyre choice.
I think it may be called a "keeper".
