I would kill for this bike!!! ( no seriously, this bike is a major factor in my reenlistment, and seeing as I'm an 11B................ :icon_rolleyes: )
When i get this bike, i'm going to become the biggest squid ever!!!! Matching jacket, helmet, gloves, socks, boxers all of it!!!!!!
My girl told me she thought I was more in love with the S4RS than her.............I respectfully decline to comment on the subject matter. And besides the bike rides better :o
in my personal opinion if a bike rides better than your girlfriend, you're not doing something, or anything, right. jmo.
The Monster is the original naked sport bike. I absolutely loved mine. I still curse the day I sold it, but the money went to good use...

House > Monster (though only slightly...)
A monster will be mine, just as soon as I finish paying for law school. Except mine will be black. Possibly with the red stripe.
I guess I can see a house taking precedence :icon_confused: :laugh: :laugh: :thumb: :thumb: Ok maybe it's not a better ride than her, but the monster won't Buddha Loves You about how fast you go :laugh:
G5
Or the Bimota version, the Tesi 2D. Very similar bikes (made in the same factory) and both use 2 valve Duc motors.

You would re-enlist for a motorcycle? :cookoo:
There are easier and faster ways of making $13,000 my friend. :icon_lol:
No I wouldn't reenlist just for a motorcycle. It's just playing a major factor in that I'm willing to switch branch/mos to meet the monetary bonus needs I have set forth. :thumb: :thumb: I'd reenlist if they made me pay :thumb:

Is the ultimate naked bike
i personally like the suzuki GSR600 and the MV brutale :thumb:
I've seen the brutale........it's a mean looking bike but MSRP is higher than the S4RS although it does pump out about 15 more horse :icon_twisted: The only thing I gont like about it is that the headlight makes it look too much like someone just ripped the fairings off of a brand new sport bike and let it go at that :flipoff: Past that they are very similar bikes.

Similar in the sense of liter naked bikes, but their engines are totally different.
OK I got to looking....That is a mean bike!!! But it really doesn't look like there's anymore than a negligable performance difference :icon_confused: And, it's 3k more than the S4RS. I know this sounds pretty squidly, but i also want a bike that people recognize and even non-riders know what a ducati is. I can just imagine being on a brutale and people asking me if thats a ducati :laugh: :icon_confused: Yeah I'm a f%$king squid.............
Triumph Speed Triple. Even car guys know wtf a Triumph is.
True!!! and it's a damn sexy bike, but I seem to remember that the power/weight ratio was lacking :icon_confused: :icon_confused:

It has more than enough for you, from what I've read...

LOL yeah probably :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I'll probably end up with the S4R :thumb:
Side Note: holy shaZam! I can't wait to see that new Desmosedici RR :o :o I'd never get one ( It'd be a gaurunteed suicide :icon_rolleyes: ) But that is a damn sharp looking bike!!!

You know what man, you just made my day. Really.
That DUKE is one mean machine,it's a hybrid motard/naked with V-twin engine,I am drowning in my drool.... :laugh:
?????? I made you day??????? WTF????
That Duke looks pretty sharp. And I can't find any bad reviews :o except it vibrates a little............ What I can't find is a price tag :dunno_white: Also while it certainly has very sharp and modern lines, the Monster beats it. Thee monster has a more fluid and sleek look :thumb: :thumb:

Hybrid motard? Uh... no. You are wrong. Dead wrong.
Yup, that's pretty much thoroughbred naked/streetfighter ( I bet it pops a hell of a wheelie :icon_twisted: ) Anyone know what the price looks like??
Alpha, you need to put up a disclaimer before the torque curve of the speed triple because anything that good looking must be NSFW. :bowdown:

Indeed. This also shows how well the Speed3 freakin' dominates many sportbikes on the street.

No freakin' joke. I have heard nothing but glowing reviews on that 1050 engine.
P.S. - they look best in white:
(http://www.collinscycle.com/06speedtriplewhite.jpg)
:o :o OK that definitely puts it on my radar of prospective bikes!!!! That's a slick price for that powerful of a bike :thumb:
Hadn't seen the triple in white, that is pretty good looking
You could always try and find a used Z1000 too. Motor is based off the old Ninja ZX-9R.
The '03 Black looks the best.
(http://www.z1000.net/UploadImages%5CZ1000_148_4820.jpg)
MSRP on the updated '07 model (which uses an engine based on the ZX-10R, I believe) is $8649. But it isn't nearly as pretty.
(http://kawasaki.com/ImagesMain/Products/Action/204_ZR1000B7F_40139_A.scale.jpg)
The older one is definitely a nicer looking bike, but neither of them really do it for me :icon_confused:
(http://www.turbomonster.com/Wallpaper/TurboMonster800.jpg)
This does it for me!!!
the crinkled-plastic Z1000 is sweet, are you crazy? I would totally rock that, as long as my feet reached the ground.
Speed3 in white FTW. I fell in love with the white as soon as it came out. DAMN I want one.

The concept of Superduke was influenced by the company's supermotard building experience
Duke was a quasi supermotard for the street and now comes the more street oriented Superduke,it's just in it's blood... :icon_lol:
Hybrid is a mix of features,in my minds eye I see some motard in it...
