Well...I am thinking about a Streetfighter, I really dont need more power for what I do on a bike...mostly errands, joy riding a blast around Tantalus...but I love the look except the pipes/exhaust on one side!?
I am crazy?
anyone on one in Honolulu?

Stop making excuses. You want one, you know it. Just do it.  |

Gene has a SF down here, and comes out to about half of our weekly rides. Post up in our regional and see when he'll be out again next is.

Go for it! My midlife crisis bike was MV Agusta Brutale, plus Ducati 848, plus Ducati 1098. Got rid of 848 and after I get rid of 1098 I'm going to go for a BMW S1000RR. My midlife crisis should be over by the time I'm done with the S1000RR.  |

When does this midlife crisis is to happen?  I'm 43, do you think is about time I start saving money for a SF as well? To be honest I can't afford it  I thought about a second hand one....maybe there are many people that buy the SF on whim and then sell her after a little while... However I don't like the Jap headlight ( I would have loved better something different like the MV BRUTALE) but the exhausts are not too bad compared to other stock ones. I do like the lightness of that bike...below 170 kgs!!! while most if not all the other Jap bikes are way above 200..... |

and gene constantly grumbles about being the old, cantankerous man that he is. so... y'know. take that how you will. |

I know. I am eagerly awaiting the SD getting here. I have already dropped hints to Gene that I want to swap up bikes some time to see how the two compare. |

Thanks for all the "YEAHS" but I am afraid the budget says no way currently so I am thinking about some mods for the M900 Do any of you guys know of under the seat pipes for older Monsters. Something like the H Competition pipes for the 696? |

Underseat exhaust routing is very challenging on that bike due to the suspension set up. I bought, and still have, a pair of 916 style cans which I got specifically for such a mod. It was that project and spin offs from it that led to just going out & buying a superbike, or two. Not that it stopped me from turning just about everything else into a variation of superbike/roadracer stuff on it. |

No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori. Good people drink good beer. Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.
It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level. Everything else is just fluff.
