Sold my R1 this spring, and that will probably be the last fast bike I owned. Way too fast, way too dangerous. Even on tracks, you can hurt yourself pretty badly. You may get wiser, but you aren't getting any luckier.

 

It's '96 M900. Nothing original. The motor is a 944cc w/twin plug head, ti rods...CF wheels, CF tank, CF body, magnesium cases, titanium springs...it weighs about 310lbs.
Shoot me a PM. We run into very good monsters at very good prices. Some are single sided swingarms and some have 4 valve heads. We build bikes to suit from the ground up for people that want something different.

 

My Porsche is my motorcycle.... with a roll cage and crumple zone called the body. I would never ride a bike in traffic. Off road is totally different.

 

Exactly the way I think. I do love my tuned XR400. It is not as plush as the new bikes but still plenty fast.

 

here's my 996 with a whole bunch of part's from moto's shop

 

996/998's look awsome. I ended up with an 04 Aprilia Factory for a fathers day gift a couple of years ago. What do you think about the ne 1098?

 

i love the 1098. gorgeous bike. it's nice to see ducati do the right thing with regards to styling. the 999's were great bikes, but butt ugly.

i had an 02 mille R. i should have kept it in hindsight. i got the bug for one of the new japanse liters bikes and picked up an 06 ZX10R. after about 6 months i quickly realized why i had gotten rid of my previous japanese liters and sold it to get the duc. i'll never own another japanese inline 4.

 

I agree on the Jap inline's they are fast but no soul. I had a Honda 929 twitchy and boring (at least when it wasn't twitching). If the new 1098 comes out in yellow I may be forced into getting one. I perfer yellow on ducks. Would you care to post a pic of my Factory for me? I can email but not post on here.

 

Aside from my 911TT I have a built 2005 R6... 141Whp super bike motor, full Ohlins, slipper clutch, forged Marchesini wheels....

See pics...

 

It's not a sport bike but it does have a 113 cu in motor.
Plenty fast for a Harley.

 

Nice stuff (as expected). Mostly I am into the older bikes now, but I still have my '60s Ducati 250 cafe racer in the garage. In the last year I sold a '70s Laverda 1000 Jota, 1951 BSA Gold Star and a pair of '70s Harley XR1000s.
My token 2 newer bikes are Harley Ultra and Suzuki DRZ400 dual sport.
A couple of months ago I was testing the impressive new Triumph Tiger 1050 with some other motojournalists in Spain. A lot faster than I am used to riding through the mountains' blind sweepers!
If I can figure out how I will upload pix of my little Ducati.

 

2006 r6 50th.

I have a 2006 Harley Sportster 1200L. Have basic Stage 1 upgrade and some 2" extended forward controls. Plan on doing some motor work to it here shortly, along with a nice fat tire kit in the rear.
