what are the other options that you have??? i didnt like the color to be honest then all the sudden loved it… it looks RED in some lights but a pearlescent orange in others… the 954 was fun and im going to miss the torque, i just need to calm down with the bikes and have fun at the track/in the corners… this bike is fairly mint so i hope to keep it that way… the chicken strips will be the first thing to disapear and then ill remove those gold stickers too SHRIVES\> how far from UB south do you live??? ---

Its come down to either the ninja or the r6 pretty much and im probably 20 minutes away from UB south, if that ---

a duc s2r just sold on wera… 2005 black and orange… 7300 bucks… with like 200 miles on it… yes adam its slower than the previous model… but handling is better and this is a better deal financially… when summer breaks i can sell this for 6500 no problem witht teh 4 year warranty… i can sell it mid summer if i miss the torque… but i like corners more than wheelies… ---
