Or they will say "My boyfriend has a Harley." :D

Women like to be seated comfortably, be it on a bike or in a car. Doesn't hurt if it vibrates a bit, too...

Cracks me up to see young ladies virtually laying on their boyfriend's back, with their feet on the "passenger pegs" mounted all of 2" below the passenger "seat" (and I use both terms very loosely) with her knees up in the guy's armpits. Comfy.:rolleyes: Ah, to be young and in love...

I don't really want a project but if this is still available I might have to buy it this weekend.

I would agree, I may in the end going that direction although a 750 is probably 65 to 70 horsepower. Now that the 400 is properly tuned it really wakes up over 5,000 rpm. The 550 would be the better compromise between the 400 and 750 for an all around bike.

This is definately a sickness similar to the 911's. I'm even thinking about a track day.............

For your drooling pleasure:

There is an MH900e available here locally, but I'm thinking my first bike in 15 years should not be a collectors item. In fact, I'm hunting for bikes that already have a dent in the tank.....might was well get THAT out of the way.

Buy it for the investment potential! It's a bike that'll only go up in value. It might be a safer bet than the stock market, real estate, or even the bank, right now. :D And it'll be a beautiful conversation piece for the living room, to boot.
