Anyone want to buy a heavily used kidney?

I downloaded some picture of the Tricolore  [drool] and have them running as my desktop background. I love the tail lights.

Wowza! Looks waaaaaayyyy better in these photos.  :o
Could just be talented photo work though.  ;)


I wonder what an oil change will involve. The exhaust looks too busy down there.

Also, the asymmetrical exhaust cut outs on the fairings will likely make variety of exhaust designs challenging.

I'm surprised at how nice and refined the speedo looks, albeit, a bit bland.

Well, I'm not ready to sell a testicle and rush to my dealer, but I don't dislike it.

I'll have to go see one in the dealer showroom, and see if it stirs my soul and/or loins. Then I can decide whether or not to buy it with the money I don't really have.

Looks great. Time to save my pennies...

I think it's gorgeous, but I'm waiting for a middleweight. I already have trouble controlling the torque and power from a 1098.

How long before they turn out an 800 version? Love the looks, but no way can I afford the bigger brother. [drool] [drool]

well, they have riding modes now so you can detune it if you dont need the extra power.

but yeah...

i'd def hit that.

i wonder if they are going to ever base a sf on this chassis?  could be interesting... would just look like a engine and two wheels.  as stripped down a bike as possible.

I'm filing that under "careful what you wish for" until I see this (non)chassis idea work better in superbike that it has in MotoGP.

i'd actually think in some ways it would work better for the sf concept because you generally wont push a sf as hard as you do a sbk.  it would still have limitations at the track when you're at 11/10's but in the street?  not so much i'd say.

they would have a hell of a time hiding the wiring though.  everything would prob have be pretty much routed under the airbox/tank.  no where else to hide anything.
