Yeah, but my contributions to my kids' college funds ends in about 18 months. Extra cash then....hmmmm... Tiger, Speed Triple, Street Triple.... gotta try 'em all. Gotta try a classic Duck, too. Maybe I'll start test riding this summer. Get ahead of the game so to speak.

Luscious!

Dude, that thing is so luscious! Think how much meaner it will look with that mini fly screen removed. Bring it on in a nice rich yellow and it would be a "Killer B"!

And that purpose is to give pleasure to someone.

socko is incapable of that, I suspect.

"I guess my post/article about Aprillia fielding a V-4 in World Superbike didn't make it past the longride filter"

Oh, shut up. You have more news items posted than anyone. Get over yourself.

I'm sorry, but I just don't get the "factory streetfighter" thing. I thought the whole point of a streetfighter is that cash-strapped kids crashed their sportbikes and put the headlights on to keep the bike streetable while avoiding buying expensive replacement bodywork. Does it come with sanded chickenstrips, pre-ground pegs, a temporary tattoo and clip-on body piercings?



But, to each his own. Two wheels good, four wheels bad.



On another note, I predict that within three years, all of the Big 4 will have redesigned their 600 Supersports to be incrementally faster and lighter. You heard it here first!

Naked bikes are cool, as well you know, you own one. Maybe the styling on this isn't your cupo tea, but really it's a badass naked standard with a great engine. Tell me you wouldn't trade yours in for this. I sure would.

Really? Does Union Jack Red work better? That looks like more of a zinc chromate green which adds an aeronautical flavor, not a bad thing to me.



This bike, may, prove for once and for all, the intrinsic superiority of the I-3 engine in a street/sport application! OK, maybe not, but this thing, on paper, could be off the charts in the smile per mile category, the Most important stat.



I eagerly await the tests on this bike. I have an inside track to ride one soon after they hit the streets.

Nah, my Bandit's faired. And would I trade it straight up for a naked 675? I don't know. I want wind protection, I want my Givi hardbags, and I want the simplicity of an air-cooled engine. But that triple would be mighty tempting.



I'll compromise - somebody put that engine in my Bandit. Thanks.

don't forget to factor in the "danger to society" tax that canucks put on anything that might be hazardous to your health, like booze ciggies, and motorcycles. covers the cost of sociaized healthcare...i guess

It's the snickering when you turn your back that you should watch-out for.
