I'm in love with the Streetfighter

[WetDuc]

I said I didn't like it when I first saw it...I said it was OK a couple months later... a few weeks later I said I kind of liked it...a couple hours later I couldn't stop thinking about it.  It makes my 695 look like a scared little boys toy.  It's an S4RS overdosed on bull steroids and ready to eat anything alive.  I think it's the coolest looking naked bike Ducati has available right now.  In a couple years I'm looking at a possibility of upgrading or maybe actually starting my stable.  Who knows, Ducati may have something else available by then.
What do you monster folks think of the streetfighter?  Is it allowed in the cool club?  Would you sell your monster to get into one?

[extra330]

Yes it's cool and fast and all that but I would not sell my monster to but a Street Fighter. My Monster and I have thing goin on, Ya know [moto]  I still hate the headlight of the SF but I wouldn't let that stop me from Buying one. I'm sure the headlight would be the last thing on my mind when the front end comes  up in third gear  The only reason I don't haveo one in my garage is the the current state of the home building bizz  .

I absolutely love it

[Spidey]

The Streetfighter is great if you want a bike created to make you dumberer.  Every time I ride one, my IQ decreases by around 100 points.  And that's starting with a baseline that barely breaks 70.  The throttle goes to 11.  The brakes make my rectum shoot out my nose.  The suspension is like sex with a threesome with Heidi Klum & Heidi Klum.  Overall, it's awesome.  And I still wouldn't trade my monster for one.

hell yes

...should answer all questions you asked

[He Man]

practically, no i wouldnt want one.

But i swear to god if i lived somewhere that allowed me to own something like this?

id do it in a heart beat. just like that one. okay, maybe not those wheels they look ugly. But otherwise JUST like that.

I rode one and also fell in love BUT, a big BUT, is the damn headlight and the exhaust.  The exhaust pictured there looks the part IMO though.  I just HATE HATE HATE inflated Termi prices for a piss poor finish on the carbon and welds. 

[1KDS]

I wouldn't kick the above Shift Tech bike out of bed for eating crackers

[MadDuck]

If money allowed I'd get one in a heartbeat and put a 2 into 1 Remus on it.    I'd even sell my Monster, if I still had one. Now, if I had a S4R that might be a different story.

[Uncle Mofo]

I love it, test rode it a bunch of times but I love my S4Rs more

[WetDuc]

I just love the evilness of the SF, even though it has ugly mirrors.  I'm stuck in Penn State right now, I've been here all week...there is snow on the ground (keep in mind I'm from Florida) and I'm scared.  I'm here moving a dual MBE lab, and all I can think about is how much I miss my wife, dogs and the  duc.  But alas, the thought of my ugly DSS (I know some of you vehemently disagree with me on that one) makes me want the SF so damn bad.  I know other bikes have the SSS and I could convert mine and da da da, but still...yea...the SF is an evil monster...born of fire.
I get to go home tomorrow and see my babies and I just can't wait (it's been a hell week).
Just for some kicks, here's pic of why I'm here and why I'm dreaming of SF's.


on edit: yes, all of those wires needed to be disconnected...does anyone here recognize this type of instrument?  Just curious...

[muskrat]

a photon light therapy device?   

[He Man]

a huge laser cooling device?

I only guess that becasue theres a sticker that says DANGER with a laser beam symbol on it.

Like in America?

BST wheels with braketech carbon matrix brakes?

[WetDuc]

Since I'm up late and bored and I've had a few , I'll spill the beans.  It's a molecular beam epitaxy instrument for growing single crystal thin films.  Uses about 200A @480V.
