The forks and brakes alone cost more than a brand new panni...... [drool] [bow_down]

WHOO BOY!!! ----- Some really nice ones posted up.  Yessir!   ^^^^^^
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.

Hey! That's JUST like mine!  ;D
If by 'just like' you mean they both say Bimota on the tank...

you're absolutely right.  ;D

Every bike I've ever owned.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Frame/engine layout is so clean you can work on almost every part of the bike, w/ minimal/zero part removal.
I miss that A LOT in my EVO, where to get to anything you have to remove 145 parts and work your way like a contortionist  :-\

Gotta love those Siegl bikes  [thumbsup]
Hmmm...

Being a relic myself, I have a hard time appreciating that ass-high profile and tiny tail piece with a classically-shaped half fairing and tank.  [roll]
