I might be able to go. Besides that I want to hear you 996

Ahhh my leg! And my friends feet! I want to ride that bike!

Anyone? Beuller?

Well that doesn't sound pleasant Anyone ridden SR 78 from Nelsonville to the state line?

I'd like to ride some nice roads. I commute at least 20 miles of crappy Dayton roads every day. I'm just looking to go have some fun on my bike with some friends. I don't really like the idea of being in a hurry or just trying get something accomplished. Besides that I am great at missing turns and generally just being a bad navigator. Combine that with a bad memory and you've got a solid hold on last place. If it was a third anniversary curvy road ride I'd definitely be down.

Why don't you like 555 and not to be retarded but what does sheep mean? The three year anniversary picture hunt doesn't sound like very much fun. I'd rather be riding somewhere....

Hmmm...sensible jap bike or flakey Itialian hotness....ahh just get it. You sound like you've got the money to keep it going.

I have been on some of the country roads a little east of town. Some of them were ok but I'm hoping for more out of SR 555. I'd take you up on your offer for Sunday but we have church until 12ish.

None of us have ever made the trip to SR 555 before so it should be fun or at least better that 675! I've never ridden in the coshocton area but that sounds interesting.

Me and three of my friends are planning on going up to ride the triple nickel this Saturday the 6th. We are a mixed group of beginner and experienced riders and are just looking to have some fun. We are planning on heading out from the Fairborn area at about 10am-12'ish. Anybody want to join us?

Sweet! How'd you score the test drive?

Fine I'm bored lets do the math for first and second gear. xb12r has 84 ft lbs peak torque first gear 84 x 1.5 x 2.648 x 2.407 = 803.090736 ft lbs peak rear wheel torque second gear 84 x 1.5 x 1.892 x 2.407 = 573.809544 ft lbs peak rear wheel torque sv650 has 47.2 ft lbs peak torque first gear 47.2 x 2.088 x 2.461 x 3 = 727.6212288 ft lbs peak rear wheel torque second gear 47.2 x 2.088 x 1.777 x 3 = 525.3892416 ft lbs peak rear wheel torque Well there's the peak numbers. I'm sure I am missing some stuff like shift points, aerodynamics, and torque curve. Interesting at the least.

Isn't there a class that races xb9r's and sv650's in the same class. Lightweight Supersport i think.

The sv overcomes the horsepower disadvantage with gearing. The sv can rev almost twice as high as the xb12r and is geared to take advantage or that fact. With the higher gearing the sv had much more mechanical advantage to the rear wheel. I'm mot saying it's faster but it is really close. It's fine if you don't want to believe me. I was quite surprised myself. I thought the buell would smoke the sv. You guys don't need to get offended. I am just stating my experience with the bike and offering my opinion. If anyone is around dayton and wants to see for themselves just give me a ring. I'm always up for beating on the sv.

Honda East in Toledo. They know about as much about Aprilia's as someone cooking you fries at Burger King. Last time I was there and asked about an Ape they didn't even know the difference between the models they had in the showroom.I get most of my stuff from AF1 also.
