It's cuz we are OR!

Not even the truck?!

Quite the stable you have there mayne. I'd love to check out that V sometime. Badass cars!

Now time to put like 9,000 miles on it! I plan on doing some serious riding this year. Can't wait. Laid off all March so I'll have nothing better to do than ride! lol

I was born in '88. Feel old yet?

Was searching the interwebz last winter looking for anything and everything under $5000. I had gone through every make and model but avoided the Italians because of their stigma for high price and high maintenance. Then one night I was on cycle trader and saw the name Aprilia. I had never heard of them but did a search anyways and that's when I saw the Mille. I found a dealer near me and went to sit on a new one, loved it so much I said I have to have one. The more I read about it the more I liked it. It met my needs, met my financial limitations, and met my expectations for maintenance and reliability. My first ride on a Mille was awe insipring coming from an 87 CBR600. It had a full exhaust, PCIII, and intake. When I twisted the throttle at 4000rpms it felt as if the hand of some all-knowing being had come out of the sky and smacked the back of that bike. The rest, as they say, is history. Sempre Aprilia.

Fortunately Pauly has a gaping asshole due to his time with jbot. So when the dogs started humping it was all good.

Another local car forum I'm on just upgraded to it and it's garbage. They're having a helluva time getting it to run correctly and it looks goofy as hell.

I will be there. Ape is getting strapped to the dyno. Whatever #s RFM puts down are getting pwnd. /thread.

I wish I had the ability to throw missiles at occupied vehicles... I think one of them is Megaman.

True dat.

This is where our train of thoughts go different ways. Everybody from your grandma to your little sister has and drives a Miata. Plus it has a reputation for being a Barbie car. Not everyone drives a Lotus, take for example when "Doc" pulled into Pig Iron last year with his limited edition Elise. Look how much attention that got. And nobody calls it a Barbie car. Exclusivity, performance, and respect is something the Miata doesn't have and the Lotus does. That's why I like the Lotus.

Lulz. Truth. And I know looks are subjective, but the SV isn't even in the same ballpark technology or looks wise.

Oh shit, forgot the Super Duke! Doh! Yeah, SuperDuke for the win too. And it has a Rotax motor as well. The Duc SF seems like a great bike but I dunno, the ergos didn't seem that ideal. Kinda half naked with half supersport bar position. The Testastretta? motor is a great one but I gotta same I'm partial to the Ape's Rotax 990. Even though it makes 10 less HP/TQ it's a bulletproof motor that doesn't require a lot of maintenance at all and some people have easily put 50,000+ miles on them with just regular oil changes, plugs, and valve checks every 30k miles. Mav, your choice on bike is up to you and you alone. I just gave you a pictorial so you know what's out there. Whatever you choose, be happy with it and ignore the haters.

Pussy. Out of those bikes, the only ones I'd be worried about with parts are the Benelli and the Moto Guzzi. But I know of a dealer for both in Detroit. Second, why is it that everyone assumes just because it's not Japanese that it must be hard to work on, WTF? All of the bikes I listed are almost identical in service styles to the far-east bikes.

Other suggestions: KTM Super Duke 990 Moto Guzzi Breva 1100/1200 Benelli TnT 1190 Triumph Speed Triple 1050 Aprilia Tuono 990 MV Augusta Brutale 1000 BMW K1200R That's all I've got for naked supersports.

He's just trying to be Darwin's advocate. I support him.
