FZR, Thunderace, R1, R6, YZF750, ZX6R, ZX10R, 916 Biposta, 748, Mille, RSV4, Tesi 3D, V Due Evoluzione, K1, SS1000R.

Pretty much anything non Suzuki, Triumph or KTM really but my main allegiance lies with Yamaha and Kawasaki.

I have three Ducatis as well as an NC30. I love my '93 Mark II Superlight (serial number #001. yes, true). But, the 2005 999s is just a piece of lithe wonderous red magic. Lots of people don't like em. I don't care. Just try riding a 999s Ducati with sorted Ohlins suspension and BST carbon fibre wheels. Sluurrrp.

Im very jealous of your 999s StrayAlien, the termis sounds absolutely fantastic on those. I think there a pretty little bike, although most wouldn't agree.

Well the great thing about those is that QB Carbon makes a Desmosedici front fairing for the bike to change the styling. I do say it makes it look sweet

Fancying a 675 daytona next but only when i can afford to keep the little 35 as well. Thing is for me a good 400 is as much sportbike as i feel comfortable "using" on the road. By that i mean i can wind it up now and again without going supersonic! Plus for me a bike should be light and nimble, the corners are fun-the straights are only there to connect them and potentialy risk my licence.... ducati 748 sp also on the list tho i do like the noise on the 675.

I don't really get why people make their bikes look like another, why not just buy that bike in the first place. I know there's a big price range but I wouldn't try and make my vauxhall look like a Lamborghini.. I'd rather save up and buy the Lamborghini. Albeit that would be a very very long time haha.

How about that. I didn't find one one their site. Might not do them any more.
