but, i have to say, i'm not the biggest fan of the looks of it. Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: DRKWNG on April 04, 2011, 03:56:40 PM That S1000 re-defines butterface...

I had a friend once tell me, "the ducati is like a beautiful woman trying to run in High heels. The Suzuki (his preferred ride) is like Michael Johnson ... Ugly but Effective.". Same thing with the BMW (although I would ask that you check out The red / white / blue in person before judging). Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: DRKWNG on April 04, 2011, 05:53:56 PM I've seen it. Friend of mine on Oahu has that bike. I've put about a hundred miles on one and walked away unimpressed.

Thompson had put it more correctly: "the Ducati is like the magic bullet in Dallas that went sideways and hit JFK and the Governor of Texas at the same time."

Don't let Dolph read that post! [laugh] Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: abby normal on April 05, 2011, 05:55:31 PM I've seen it. Friend of mine on Oahu has that bike. I've put about a hundred miles on one and walked away unimpressed. In sport mode perhaps? Frustrating throttle response. Race mode is impressive, IMHO. Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: DRKWNG on April 05, 2011, 06:12:00 PM Race and slick if memory serves me correctly...
Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: Buckethead on April 05, 2011, 06:55:45 PM Seeing that doesn't make me want an RC8 any less.
Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: MadDuck on April 07, 2011, 08:39:13 AM Race and slick if memory serves me correctly... Those must have been mainland miles ........ Takes a lot to impress you it seems ;D ;D I'd still go with the SP just because it looks so good and it sounds so mean. Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: DRKWNG on April 07, 2011, 02:06:14 PM Those must have been mainland miles Yep ........ Takes a lot to impress you it seems ;D ;D Not really. Thing just felt like it was stepping all over itself with all the electronics. Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: duccarlos on April 07, 2011, 02:27:23 PM It's funny. The oen of the local Ducati dealers has some RSV4's left over and they said it was really difficult to sell them even though the owner of the dealership said it was the best SBK of the bunch. He sold them for crack head cheap. I wish I had the money at the time to buy one.
Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: DRKWNG on April 07, 2011, 02:30:09 PM Yea... Those things are going cheap. ???
Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: muskrat on April 07, 2011, 02:34:30 PM I think the RSV is the prettiest of the bunch. It also sounds mean with an aftermarket exhaust and for those prices I only wish I had the extra cash right now.
Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: duccarlos on April 08, 2011, 05:52:16 AM Yea... Those things are going cheap. ??? Much cheaper than the 1198 Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: kopfjäger on April 08, 2011, 09:53:30 AM http://www.austinracing.info/ (http://www.austinracing.info/)
Title: Re: Euro Bike Showdown SBKs Post by: thought on April 08, 2011, 11:02:46 AM http://www.austinracing.info/ (http://www.austinracing.info/) never really liked the gp style cans... they just sort look too much a bit function over form for me. they just sort of stick out there. that akra's look way better imo, and the sound is incredible. |
