dunno though...i need to ride the Falco. I'll get to do that maybe tomorrow. If the Falco has a nice "fit" for me and is comfortable, I might jump on it at $8K. The new (28 miles) MTS would likely be about 10K. There are some used ones around ($7700, $9K with lots of carbon fiber), but I worry about about service/reliability...although there is a gread independent local mechanic that all the local guys swear by.
I actually like the Buell XB, although I would lean towards the 900. Local dealer wasn't going to carry the 900 though. But I'm really feeling like I need an Italian fix at this point...

Bikes that come with bars are easy to modify with different bars. Clip-ons on a MTS might seem weird, and you'd be surprised how changing one ergo can affect the others.
You're referring to the '05 demo I mentioned on page 1, right? Even though it's $2K more than the Falcos, that money would probably come back to you in resale. Plus, that would have a full warranty and none of the '03-04 problems.
