I am a bike enthusiast as well. Any good roadracing stories?

Shiv that's the one Aprilia I like (your rs250), the rest of them though can't hold a candle to the feel of a 916/996/998. I ride like I drive (like a knucklehead ) and the Duc lets me live to tell the tale over and over, that bike just plain talks to me (yes its love). It takes a while to learn the language (when I got it I rode it for two weeks wondering what the big deal was) but when you do OMG.
You guys know I've been lucky enough to drive many great cars at the limit and I can easily say this, My 916 is best vehicle I ever had the pleasure of piloting Now if I can just talk Shiv into putting an Xede on it

That SVX 450 is damn cool but now the Hypermotard is calling my name 
Oh yea,...and the Desmosedechi street bike 
Oh yea,...and the Desmosedechi street bike If you really want to feel a weird front end, you should try my BMW w/ the tele-lever. It took me quite awhile to get use to it, but I really like it. I just need to get new shocks for it so I can get rid of the super stiff ride. My BMW replica bike has the stiffest suspension I have ever experience.
