I can't do that...as you know where i live and will come and steal it .

I prefer the newer styling, but the 99-02 blue/white paint scheme. That said the black isn't too shabby.

I also still find myself scratching my head at the motoGP style exhausts or underseat....i prefer them on the side

LoL, if I was gonna steal one, I'd make sure it was closer to home!!

I might have to blag a ride of yours at some point though if you got one!! ... you can have a go on my soon to be RSV-R at the same time*

*that is if you are insured to do so

I find myself scratching my head at the total lack of any power or torque below 6k revs. They are horrible bikes to ride unless you're flat out everywhere.

I too think that Duke 916s should have underseat exhausts,and the rest of the following sheep should put them back where they work better and look like exhausts.
Same goes for all the other fashion statements.

The only thing that is important here is what it LOOKS like!!!!

Why the hell would you want to be below 6k anyway?!!?
