Another Italian beauty added to the stable.

Good choice    the Dorso is a blast, tonnes of fun to ride, plus you put her in touring mode for a smooth ride out to the twisties, then pop her in sport mode for some snarling good fun!

I upgraded from my M600 to the Aprilia Shiver (the Dorso's sister bike), and apart from the spare-part-acquiring nightmares of owning an Aprilia, I just love her. They're one of the coolest (Dorso) and one of the prettiest (Shiver) bikes on the road.

Why do so many Americans bikes have headlights pointed up into the sky ??It looks ugly and sloppy and obviously wont be much use at night?

I see it here in Thailand on Yanks bikes only

I really don't think that is intentional.   I've never heard of that need or want in any bike, afaik.   It's probably an oversight or a just a weird angle of the camera.  It looks like a very wide angle and that can distort straight lines.  Just imho.

Nice bike, btw.   What's wrong with the Hypermotard?  Looks similar and its a Duc.   Just wondering...
Edit:  Never mind.  I saw your reason for not getting a HM.

I must say that I do like that bike!  I haven't seen any good shots of it until now.  I love how clean the styling is.  Nice choice!

On the pic of the S4R, is there an exhaust on there?

Look below & behind the right footpeg. There's cut off exhaust there but no cans to distort the sound.

Look below & behind the right footpeg. There's cut off exhaust there but no cans to make your ears bleed..

Fixed.

Fixed.   

No..no..no.    It should read "no cans to make sure that your ears bleed."

Double fixed.

Headlight will be adjusted once I get out of the basement....It is on and off the stands, so until I get it on level ground and adjusted, it will stay as is.

The slip ons are off since I just rely just replaced the rear tire and honestly just havent put it on.  They will go on once I pull it out and get back from being on the road.
