Bike Lust (Track or Street)

Gotta agree about the Aprilia 125 although lusting for a 250 model they keep denying. Me thinks they want to put one out in a 500 instead. That bike is small for me so my 'Ultimate' wish would have to be a track bike along the lines of a PS. I did not know there was a 1080 kit for it. I know in good the PS is around 100 hp. But my fat arse carcus needs the sbk torque in the corners to turn me out of a tight apex. So, it'd have to say either a 999s or r but would really like a PS set up like T has it. Although after riding CDC's monster I do really like that torque it has. 1098s is bad to the bone but again, just a little too short forme.
1. - PS track bike
2. - 999/s or r
3. - 1978-79 Desmo 900
4. - fix up my ST4s with mods  ;D

Red with that list, you'll never get to ROCKBOTTOM, racing that is.   ;D

I'm waiting for just the right to pounce  [evil]. That's another MO of Rock Bottom Racing.
It's more fun that way.  [laugh]

I'm still massively lusting after my own bike.  Needs clear coat to protect lisa's handiwork, and maybe some ohlins internals and pipes down the line...

Other than that, I love the PS, would love the new black SC, and still jizz in my pants over the MV Agusta 750 silver/red paint scheme..  Also probably the Benelli Tornado Tre 900 ( everything they came out with afterwards looks a little funny to me, even for the Italians ).

Also, I'm cool with the spaceship look...

I'm lusting over the 09 Aprilia RS125.  I figure you upgrade the suspension, throw in a full racing exhaust (the european street legal exhausts for 2 strokes mess up the power curve way too much, I've heard), re-carb it, throw some track plastics on it and you have a 255lbs (say - 5 lbs for the exhaust and -5 pounds for headlights, street platics, etc..), say 35hp machine (30hp is the EU legal restriction, shouldn't be hard to hit 35hp).

Sounds like something with which I could get my confidence back.  Again.

That's probably because they are now owned by a Chinese company... not long before we'll see "Benelli" scooters and four wheelers for sale at Pep Boys. :P
