my fav. moto of the year

well that front wheel comes up quite easily. Also, really cool camera angles.

 

Type R


and ducati would be the last company I'd buy a motard from. They'll over complicate a machine that's supposed to be simple

What's complicated about it? Really.

+1

That engine has been around for quite some time now

 

Wow that bike is sick, just skimmed through the movie how much are they and when will they be released?

 

OT- one of the articles on the side bar was about the release of a nekkid 675! OH EM GEE!

*giggles like a school girl*

 

Sweet bike but I think it's kind of pointless to make a more street oriented motard style bike and still put a small *** gas tank on it.

They're about $11k and $13k for the S model. They're in pre-production now so they should be hitting the streets in the next 2 or 3 months methinks.

Eh, as long as it has a gas gauge and around 80 miles of range I'll be happy. Of course, there are a few bikes are in line before this one for me this summer...

100% true

 

It certainly has some lovely bits... She looks a little tubier than the aprilia, but a bigger engine is nice. to me this would be the perfect Mexico trip motorcycle. But for performance I will stick with the 550 Aprilia.


Hmmmm... I wonder how this Duck would be if I stuck a testastretta engine in it

Monster S4RS &gt; Hypermotard &gt; Sportbikes

Problem is, an S4RS new is the same $$ as a 1098, and used they're still $12-13k I want one soooo bad

 

I have been in absolute lust for that bike since the day I first saw it. I just know know how I would warm up to the idea of jumping something on my Ducati. If I had a little more expendable income I would consider one, but at this point I think I would still be more apt to buying an Aprilia 550.

 

indeed... slightly different mind sets. I think of the duck is slightly more slanted towards the dual purpose scene, while the ape is race oriented

I rode a brand new S4RS last season...nice bike but I wasn't really impressed.
