i splurged all over the dealership sales lady today...
yep, my days of working on a project car are over for me, im gonna tarp my z31 and stuff it into the corner for a while, just put a deposit down on a new 07 bike, not gonna say what it is until i get it home, i will give two hints, its all black, its 1k CC's and its a little hurting on the wrists for long periods. (mike dont tell them) but anywho my 92 needs a head job and my 87 needs a rebuild, so i figured i might as well...

sweet, just got myself a "zune 1090" to replace the ipod mini that fell out of my pocket on the freeway, if any of you are looking for a decent mp3 player i would highly recommend the zune..

Nice purchase! The riding position is actually not too bad on the R1. The Ducati puts alot more pressure on the wrists.

i did test ride a 1098s before the R1, but it all came down to parts availability, the aprilia's are on an order basis only, the only ducati dealer is over 100 miles away, plus their is going to be some big aftermarket for the new R1.

Is the stock hp/torque not enough?
or is it just the sound you guys are going after?
I'm betting neither of you can fully take advantage of what either of those bikes can do stock, that's why I question the attempts to increase performance.
We are talking about about 1:3.3 - hp : pound power to weight ratio (175lbs rider 360lbs bike) The Bugatti Veryon and Hennesy Viper are about that.

Snw, here's a video of a 1098 w/ the full Termi exhaust. This definitely influenced my decision to get the full exhaust.
