I believe that is the fuel tank under the seat;  Down draft intake with butterfly valves;  That thing is STUPID!!  I would rock it in and instant!  |

I like everything about the Wakan except the engine  Put something in there with gear/belt/chain driven overhead cams and you'd have a sweet bike  |

Sweet bike though Back to the current subject; That new Aprilia RSV4 is sweet. So is the new KTM 1190 RC8 Saw both at the local dealer. |

IMHO it looks like the Aprilia & BMW both hired Japanese designers to design their new bikes.  |

Thanks, but I knew what bikes he was talking about. Was more asking what dealer he was talking about as he (up until recently) was on the big island. |

Gotta say i agree.
the current line up does nothing for me except for the Hypermotard. I wouldn't have one instead of my monster tho it would be an aswell as.
I like the sport classic range. The GT is very nice.
At this years Scottish bike show Ducati didnt have any of the sport classics on their stand so i assumed they had stopped making them.

Yeah, I know what you mean...the M900 is just so pretty, I just like to go in the garage and look at it!
you can stick an old M900 among a bunch of current-issue naked bikes...I know which one will stand out and catch my eye and my initial interest

I agree whole-heartedly... New monsters do NOTHING for me compared to the new line up..... Not a huge fan of the newer SBK's either, although theyre nice.. Search for a well cared for used machine is what i'd suggest... Monster- m900,S2R1K,S4RS- SBK- 916/996/998.....and the MV's BUT.... I do dig the Hyper... |

TRAITOR!! Well, it is 55 degrees and foggy right now. Had to buy all new gear. My vented/perforated stuff was not cutting it. Killer roads though. It is strange to ride without sweating like hell. I just sent you a PM about your move end of thread jackI agree that the lines of those bikes are not beautiful. But that Aprilia is just sick |
