New 1098 S Tricolore Makes N.A. Debut at Long Beach, CA IMS.

You know, squid, it's one o'clock in the morning. I know I need to get a life. How about you?

It's 4:30 am here. Waiting for the snow plows...Guess I should have brought the bike in last week.

How about a tricolor Ural with 500 extra watts for electric clothes? Ok I'll stop now, gotta go to work.

Igor.. I mean, Yossef was at the Kyalami test, right?

I tell you what. If I've got 25K to blow on a bike it's going on one of these looooonnng before it's ever going to go on some cheapshyt Rune or chopper or Big Dog or any other pissant "custom".

I really hope the 1098 isn't roomier than the 999. I want one and don't know why.

It's not the tool. It's not the tool. It's not the tool.

If that ain't the purtiest Duc I never did see! Cute little vertical gas tank stripe thingie too. But, if I'm spending large, make mine the beeeyouty-full black & whte MV F4.

Gee and I had you figured for a Rune guy.

Speaking of tools. I'm off to FL so fling a few insults for me while I'm gone.

The MV is smokin and you can get one today for the low, low price of $2%((%>)). No, really- The Ducs are going to fly out of this shop. Ha- I made a funny. We've already pre-sold 15 and most are S models- which suprises me as the base is a seal.

I was thinking about spending close to that on a K 1200 GT untill I looked at the new Bandito Grande`. I guess if you have to have the dopest looking Ducati around $25 K is par for the course.



Ditto on the Big Dogpile or any other "custom"..

"Your father was a hamster and your mother smelled of elderberries, you animal food trough water, I fart in your general direction, you tiny brained wiper of other peoples bottoms....no go away or I shall taunt you again" !!!!

FL=Old ladies. Were you in the movie "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels?"

Damn. For that money you could get a ZX-6R, a Buell XB12R, a gym membership, a couple weekends at racing school and lots of track days.



You wouldn't, but you could.

a 2001 zx6R even, and a firefighter hat

Well, actually if I had 25K to blow on bikes I'd end up with about 6 bikes.



Does the 1250 Bandit look as good live as in the pictures? I might just find room for one in my stable... put the "G" out to pasture so to speak. Big torquey 4s make me smile.

Actually you can get a better idea of his technique by watching "The Producers".

LOL It never ends...

It looks better! all the little uglies are gone from the old version. The trim looks good, no faux-chrome behind the carbs. The ABS version is $8200 which I think would be good for here, the non-abs is in the 7's, I can't remember exactly but it'll be my next bike I believe.



Suzuki builds a good 4 cylinder, always has. I think this and my Bonnie will really cover the bases for me.
