my next two wheeled purchase. or something sim…

Thats a beautiful Ducati. Love the paint scheme

:tup:

not Ducati, KTM.

a bike you wanted?

must be rocket powered or someshit.

that is hotTt

shit sign me up

ugh…

:drools:

thats badass!

looks cool, specs?

i dont know the specs on the bike, but from looking at it im guessing its a revised z1000

never been a fan of the naked street fighter style bikes. when it crashes you’re replacing engine parts, not plastics.

not if you have frame sliders.

comeon. what good is a little piece of plastic gonna do when a 400 lb machine comes down on top of them? I’ve bought 3 bikes that have been wrecked, and they all still have rash on the case covers and/or damage elsewhere even though they had plastics on em. but people are so fucking stupid they get scared when a bikes been down. check the frame, swingarm, subframe, wheels and forks. hell not even all of those need to be straight. i replaced the forks, clipons, rearsets, and wheels on a bike and it was perfect.

btw this is the bike I’m waiting for. I ride sportbikes on the track, but I want something comfy but badass for the street.
