hmmm... Might pick it up, but only if I can get 6 more.

 Then I'll paint each one a different color and have one to ride each day of the week on my private track.

 ;)

Seriously though, nice bike

Still got the stock parts?  Is it ok for the street?

My friends all have busas, but I've just started riding,  I want to take it slow, so I'm sticking with a literbike to begin with.

Holy shit, Mladin's twitter page just gets funnier. . .  [laugh]

$59,000 for my bike after Sunday's race. Now you all have the chance to own the weapon that wins them all! Hold a sec, Yamaha on line 2.

That'd be great. I could buy that and instantly be competitive in the DMG series right?

Looks like you could win races with that bike actually.  Its not like the rider makes a difference.   ;D

"If I'm not mistaken," Mladin said, "the electronics on the Yamaha (Superbike) are worth more than our race bike. I'm pretty sure that's the case."
