nice! you're more of a man than I... hehe

those liter-beasts are too much for me.

I rode an R1 for a few laps at the track last year and man-o-man was that an experience! I think I'll stick with my 600 for now

you should come do a track day next season!

Ducati ST4, she is my little Italian Sweetheart!
Mostly sport-touring but I have done track days with her as well.

The new Ducati SportClassic 1000 Monoposto is my dream bike. Old school look and new school technology, its a beauty. I love my VTR but I would trade it in a sec to a SportClassic mono!

How do you like riding the Ducati? I rode a 748 a few times and I found the bike to be extremely cramped. I also thought that the bikes were incredibly underpowered. I almost felt like I had to beat the bike to make it perform.

wow some nice variety here... cool

and no I'm not going to ask the typical cop biker questions don't worry hehe

however, if any of you folks would be interested in learning more about trackdays just ask. It would be cool to have some of you up there sometime next year. I've got room for another bike on my trailer so if you're interested but don't have a way of getting your bike to the track just ask!

Anyway I'm currently buying all the parts I need to get my 06 R6 race ready. Spending all this money sucks bigtime but I'm looking forward to trying the bike out in race form.

Can't wait for Spring!

I agree, Iv driven the 748 and found it way underpowered compared to my Super Hawk.
Although, the handling and throttle control was so much more precise, my bike tends to be more jumpy due poor the poor stock throttle from Honda.
