Does anyone have one? If so will you share your review of this beast?

DESMO · 02-26-2010, 07:25 PM

I rode one last week. Extremely nice, very quick motorcycle. Not your daddy's BMW, I promise! I started and rode a bit with it in "Rain Mode", which makes it pretty tame on throttle response, switched it to "Race" mode and .... wow. Serious power, linear in delivery, computer keeps wheelies in control. . Nice gauge layout, ergonomics seem more aggressive than othe liter bikes. Classy bike, I liked it.

Didn't get it into any twistys, dang it.

Are you going to purchase one?

DESMO · 02-26-2010, 07:35 PM

No. I'm done with serious sportbikes. It is an impressive machine, though

I'm a confirmed Ducati guy, the Streetfighter will be my next one.

I wasn't aware they were in the dealers (people been waiting for them..) yet AND I'm finding it really hard to believe that they let you test ride one on top of that. The insurance liability would be insane. Just sayin.

Maybe it's a different world in Tennessee.

I'm sure I'll see one in Daytona that I can sit on this week. It is a Bike Week!
