I might drag myself away from GA to check it out. Course I may need to come that way next Gap trip too...

I've lived without ABS and DTC for this long...

I like this bike. I like the green, but the white is bad ass.


I also like the Aprilia. Both killer machines.

Yea, the thing is, I don't want to pay $20,000 for a Euro bike. I keep dreaming of a 675 but with a 1000+cc motor... Again, I kinda want to step away from Suzuki for this bike, and I'm keeping my present bike anyway. I would happily take a Ducati, Aprillia, KTM, BMW, MV, Benelli, etc but for about $13,000... kinda wipes out the other possibilities...
