Stick with the stock F4. You'll be fine. Really.
Who are you? And what did you do with my friend Rick? |

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

useless?! who cares?! have you ever ridden an F4? make the beast with two backsing amazing machine. a bit heavy but the weight gives it more of a feel of solidity than of general heavyness (if that makes sense).
Never said the F4 wsn't a good bike. What I meant was the increase in HP for the new model is useless...it already had a ton. A little more doesn't make a difference. Hardly anyone can take advantage of it all anyway...especially on the street. |

What you should really get is an 1198SP. Or a slightly used, but highly modified, and way cool, 848.  |

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.

I talked to you about the 848 already. It's really all the bike I would need out here, but... I won't buy another new Ducati without an alloy tank, so I guess the SP would still be on the table. But at that price? I'd rather have the MV. Trade you a Super Duke for it.  |

I like everything but the cyclops headlight. Big single headlights (monster) look good... single projectors do not look good... to me.

Absolutely gorgeous. The headlight is perfect. But then I'm a 999 fan also. The only other bikes that even come close are some Bimoto's and the Ducati.

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I'd be happy with it too. At least yours has a metal tank.
