Thanks for the heads up. I haven't read it yet, but I LOVE my RR.

Mal,
Hadn't noticed the move to the CBR. Have you ridden the old one; any thoughts on the old models compared to the new one? I'm considering an old one as a trackbike, since they are so easy, relatively, to ride? I've had my eye on a CBR since I bought my ZX10R in 2004 and I was considering an RC51 again but used prices for the CBR are comparable. Any thoughts?

Hey,
They seem to pick the 1098 Duc over the in-line fours

RC -
I assume you're talking about the "old" 1000RR. I've owned every RR since the original. I personally liked the 954 best, because it was very light AND felt it. It just needs a steering damper. I had an '04 10R as well. What a sick bike. Had only a pipe on it and it was so vicious (because of my light weight) that I went 1 up on the front sprocket, which it pulled easily. 190 on the GPS. No comments please. I miss my RC51 as well.
