zeriously doubting your chances bro. gp is the only place using 800s and on the three points of Shit sucks to watch no homogolation no kawi factory effort basically makes your only option having a custom set of pistons/rods made up and jamming them in an otherwise healty zx10 which will be absurdly expensive. might spring for some air poppets too cause it'll be undersquare so you can shoot for 20k redline

I thought sport tourers were supposed to be reliable, low maintenance, and get at least halfway decent gas mileage.
For me, something like a Kawi ZRX1200R or Aprilia Tuono. I love torque, but I'm looking to avoid bodywork and have something that is easier on the knees.

An Rc 51, or an 1125cr.
Realistically, probably something more touring oriented. |

I am lucky enough to have a good stable now, I would love the new Ducati 1198S but not enough to shuffle toys. I keep looking for a mid 70s bike to Cafe ,, Have to be careful cause the wife thinks that our combined 6 bikes are enough..

Only sportbikes i would own again would be a twin. Another RC51 or a TLR, or even a 998...
Or an RC8..... Yum... But the bike I really want is the Ducati 1100 Hypermotard. I am in love with that. But between the Harley, the arctic Cat, and the truck im looking to buy in the near enough future, it will be a couple of years before I can realisticly afford another new motorcycle. Ill be car loan free in 6 months (for about a day), and i'd like to pay off the sled in the same time frame. But i still owe about 19k on the Harley. I'm all toy'd out. Plus, next winter im considering trying a snowmobile endurance race with a friend of mine (team race), which is going to cost about 6000$ total (between two people). Im gonna be bike poor for a while... Last edited by Apoc; 04-16-2009 at 09:01 AM.. |

I cant see myself riding anything other than a 750. Possibly an 848 or even a Daytona 675.

I have no clue since I like my 07 R1 pretty much.
In my mind it will either be an 09 R1 or a Ducati 1098 or 1198. Now if I just add to the stable and keep the R1 it will probably be a cruiser type like a V-Rod...a Victory Vegas Jackpot or a Star Raider. |
