hmmm... Might pick it up, but only if I can get 6 more.

Then I'll paint each one a different color and have one to ride each day of the week on my private track.

;)

Seriously though, nice bike

Still got the stock parts?  Is it ok for the street?

My friends all have busas, but I've just started riding,  I want to take it slow, so I'm sticking with a literbike to begin with.

$59,000 for my bike after Sunday's race. Now you all have the chance to own the weapon that wins them all! Hold a sec, Yamaha on line 2.

That'd be great. I could buy that and instantly be competitive in the DMG series right?

"If I'm not mistaken," Mladin said, "the electronics on the Yamaha (Superbike) are worth more than our race bike. I'm pretty sure that's the case."
