I sat on my 2002 Silver Mile today

Steve congratulations on the new bike.. If I could justify buying a new one it would be a toss up between the Aprila and the GSXR 1000. I have noticed that on the last few group rides that I have been on, where I could watch riders on both bikes, the guy on the GSXR seemed to do a lot of stretching on the straights and the Aprila rider seemed comfortable and didn't do any stretching..

Steve Congrats!!! That bike is awesome! I have been thinking of defecting to the V-twin side myself. I like anyone would like the Mille R or even a Ducati but the only one I could afford would be the 748, and coming from a R1 to a 748 I'm sure I would be less than pleased with the power delivery.

I thought about gsxr1000 or even a RC51 I'm still waiting to hear about this next generation TLR. Maybe one more year on the R1 then a move to the V side??? Anyways Congrats its a fine machine!
