You can do better than a Ducati, at least get one you can ride in the dampness we have lol ...even an Aprillia Tuono will run better lol

At this stage in his life I think what he really needs is anything he's set his mind on, so if it's a Duke, so be it.
It's the freedom it represents, more than the actual bike itself.0 -
1.Its a Ducati
2.Its a Ducati
3.Its a monster.
Mate has/had a 900 a few years back and it never went more that about 80miles without breaking down.
Buy it.It looks nice so when it's in the garage broken down you'll have summat to ogle
Or get a Hardley Dangerous if you're really having a mid-life moment 0 -
yehaa - youre right.....
Feel like buying something 'extravagant' but witihn reason....

Looking for something out of the usual?
How about a Triumph Street Triple?
But personally I'd always go for a trusty blade, or a gixxer. (Brother was killed on a gixxer)0 -
Yeah id start with a gixxer 6, not to fond on the RR

I've got a nice Yamaha Diversion 600 for sale lol .......it's freedom lol
Caz xxx0 -
Bandit always works for me.Visit Clacton during the School holidays - it's like a never ending freak show.
Who are you calling inbred?0 -

Mate at works riding bud has just bought the new Beemer S1000RR
They've just been in Spain for 3 weeks and he said it pissed all over his Blade and his mates Gixxer :shock:
It's a Feckin BMW :shock:0 -

If you've got the cash and you're happy you won't just scare yourself sh**less and have to sell it soon, then go for it 8) Life is short etc etc
I kinda did it the other way round - did the petrol head thing then went into MTB'ing."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
No, no, no, you're all wrong.
What you want is one of these:

Doubt it
bike instructor we know has a gixxer thou and tested a rr and he said it was like riding a bandit 12 0 -
I love the street triple. If I had a choice of bike at the minute, it'd be one of them or a daytona 675. Nom nom nom. Nom.
Or, I'd just actually finish off the project I've got in the garage. All I need to do is whittle some instruments together and a oil radiator cover and it's basically done.0 -
I'm giving up motorbikes for mountain bikes lol...Hubby has had to sell his bike, an I downgraded from my VTR1000 to the Diversion 600 and I never use it, so I'm going to sell and buy a car...i'm getting old lol

Straight drag race pissed on his Blade.So he rode the Beemer,pissed on his blade.He rode the gixxer pissed on his Blade but got pissed on by the BMW.The blokes called Animal and he's the fastest rider I've come across in over 25 years,true nutter(he's 50 :shock: ) says he wouldn't buy the Beemmer but had an indicated 187mph on a BikeGPS.Mynameisdann wrote:ibbo68 wrote:Mate at works riding bud has just bought the new Beemer S1000RR

Dont think indicated speeds mean anything though, friend had 173 displayed on a stock 6000

I've seen 168 on my 2000 ZX6R J1....
...ON A PRIVATE CIRCUIT, OFFICER!0 -
I saw 101.5 mph on my VTR...thats the speed the nice policeman showed me on the radar when he'd caught up with me :oops:
Caz xx0 -
That's why he has the GPS more accurate than a speedo.He had an R1 last year and it was showing 178mph on the speedo,he wasn't convinced as it felt slower than his mates Gixer so he bought the GPS and Voila 165mph :shock: He sold it in disgust and bought the BladeMynameisdann wrote:Dont think indicated speeds mean anything though, friend had 173 displayed on a stock 600 0 -
