Yeah, notice I slipped in the Desmosedici under SBK.   

For a price limit, I'd like to keep it at $9,000 to be able to pay cash for it.  If the bike were sweet enough though, I'd probably be willing to take out a $3,000 loan.  I'd rather avoid having to make payments until I get out of school though.

I'll sell you a sweet S4R for say, 8

What year?   

04', bought new in '06 (sat for 2 years on the showroom floor). While filthy, it's been mechanically loved.

Comes with tank dent 

A tank dent?!  SWEET!!   

I think if I stick with a 4 valve Monster I'm gonna go testastretta though.

Umm... what kind of riding do you want to do?

'Cause your list of bikes is all over the map as far as what their strengths are.

Touring?
Adventure touring?
Canyons?
Commuting?
Track days?

See, that's another thing I've been wrestling with.

In the past, the vast majority of my riding has been local twisties.

I wouldn't mind having something that I could tolerate doing the occasional 500 mile superslab trip on though.  But I managed that on my S4 a couple of times.

My commute is about a mile and a half, so that's not much of an issue.

And I'd like to start doing some track days in the near future.

Used 999 will do all you need exept offraod

My next bike is going to be the KTM 950SMR, so my vote is for that.  If you haven't ridden one, you owe it to yourself to get a demo ride in.  It will change you forever

Any chance that I could nick the radiator off your S4 before the insurance company picks it up? 

Or better yet, swap my radiator for yours!!!

I've never ridden one but those Huskys look sweet. I've heard some great things about them too.

But of all the bikes listed and it were my money I'd get a 998. Love em'.

Yeah, but you can't jump 998 in the woods (or shouldn't )

Supermotos rule!

...including look ugly enough that I won't want to ride it.   

speed triple
super duke
one seriously blinged out fire salvage project....

I would get a 996 or a 998...

+1 and a 5 gallon gas tank and $3 rubber tubing to siphon gas from one tank to another...to replace the use of jumper cables and other electric bits around gas.
