    Yup, right behind Aprilia and Ducati...my personal favorites being the RSV Mille R and the 999

    Well I wasn't sure if it was the right bike.
    Plus I have someone whispering in my ear about a much different direction.

    Re: open class sportbikes

    I've never met anyone with an RC51 that did not want to sell it.

    CBR1000 or the GSX-R1K.

    Honda will be more comfy, Gixxer faster.

    What's the new direction involve?

    Friend/coworker is preaching the "holy grail" that is the SV 650.

    My friend has a 01' sv 650s w/GSXR 1k front end, penske shock, Akra, cams, 520 kit, etc, etc. I'm starting to listen alittle to his preaching.

    Aprilia Tuono...better than your coworkers hooked up SV in stock trim, and more comfortable...

    Comfort is not a huge concern.
