At least the Duke goes around corners.
All the "busa will do is kill you quickly.

They don't have a speedo. Its a stop watch.

'Busas are for Americans who just want bragging rights about riding at 11ty mph. An '04 GSXR1000 is where it is at for Suzukis.

Triumph Speed Triple in black makes my pants fit nice. Thruxton is pretty cool.

MV Augusta or bust if you're going Italian (one seeks permission to be so bold to suggest sir looks at the F4 Senna?).

The whole 2 stroke thing is what is holding me back.

why would the 2 stroke thing be holding you back...?

sure it will sound like a whipper snipper... but isn't 125cc 2 stroke equivalent to 250cc 4 stroke due to being 1 power stroke out of every 2 instead of 1 out of 4...???

more bang for your buck...??

i vote the aprilla in red and white...

not that i would own a bike unless i had a decent car to drive also...

I'm pretty sure 2 strokes are being phased out due to emission regulations...

Anyway most 4 stroke motorbikes these days are as quick if not quicker then 2strokes
