sounds like a sound decision.

so what ATV you thinking. Yamaha 450 is bad ass. sport quad right?

we have lost one ducati dealer so far and a triumph dealer. more to follow i'm sure.

They released a Corona GSXR1000 in the US? Really? I don't remember that. Hmmm...

3 transmission rebuilds and 2 motor rebuilds...the bike was out for a year and they replaced it with the R1 which addressed all of the YZF1000's shortcomings.

Oh yea, I may demo one in Daytona or when I get back! The dealer didn't want to let me sit on the decision so... besides, no offense but I'm having a harder time with the looks than I thought I would... For the money I want to LOVE IT!!!

Don't be a wanker, nobody said anything about a 1000 Corona model before.

Oh sorry, I really wasn't...I didn't know you were including 600s. If that's the case, they also put out some other WSB 600 as well...I want to say Telefonica Moviestar but maybe it was some other. I was talking about 1000s, although that's not to say that the conversation can't include 600s or any other bikes you wish. Again, sorry if I offended you in any way.

I guess I'll wait and see what Suzuki does next year... Meanwhile, I'll buy either a new car, truck or ATV with money I've saved! Ofcourse, watch my bike will blow a motor or I'll hit another deer!
Are you not a fan of the current gen 1k? Or are you just hoping for something big to come out of Zuk in 11???
