    Well what are you looking for in a bike? What's your experience level?

    Riding an Aprilia I can tell you that they are incredibly reliable. The falco is a beast with 105 rwhp great ergos and a decent starting price. They also are not far off the mille' when it comes to over all performance. They are a bit softer sprung than the Mille' but still it comes with Showa forks and a Sachs shock.
    If you wanna good deal I can get one to you from the guys at Seacoast.

    Is that 3000 miles total riding experience, ever?
    The falco or the SV1000 might be the best choice.
    The GXSR will just make you want to Squid all of the time. Thats my #1 reason for not having one.

    just be careful when getting used to the new *powerband* (read: the entire damn range of engine RPM's on the falco) i have first hand knowledge it will punish you if you try to ride it like a dirt bike.

    yes. it also has this neat ability to help you clear your lungs especially well... when it wheelies unsuspectingly fast.

    they also have a tendency to come down sideways from stoppies.

    3000 miles and you want more power. I suppose this is why people buy liter bikes to begin with...

    My Ducati is about 145 top speed. Anyone can go fast in a straight line, I dont even think they hit that speed on the straight away at the NHIS track.

    I've had my nekid SV up to 128.6 in 5th. flat highway no wind, calibrated Sigma.

    120-125 is prolly max for the nekid model in 6th. the SVS has a little better areodynamics, and prolly can do a little better than 130
