I'm going to look like a geek, but I'm thinking frames and axle sliders might be a good idea...

I hope you won't look like a geek b/c i'll be right there with you in a few months. And in the end, they're only going to see your back so who cares?

Totally agree with the naked vs sportbike look--we must be in the same demo.

You look at the speed triple? Sweet monkeybutt..

Here's a thread about the monster 696 vs the street triple (675cc). May or may not be of interest to you: http://www.triumphrat.net/street-triple-forum/86735-street-triple-vs-ducati-monster-696-a.html
