Ok, so this has nothing to do with anything, but I'm excited! &nbsp;My bike hasn't been running for a year, and I got the parts in today to fix it, and fixed it in about 10 minutes! &nbsp;My god, it never should have been sitting for that long, I'm lucky that I didn't have to do carb work to it! &nbsp;Once that engine started it's purr, I almost wanted to keep it...but I have to sell it, I want to get the SR. &nbsp;I'll get another bike eventually, they're so fun! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'>

What kind of bike do you have? My brother has a Ducati 916 and I have been in love with them ever since. I have another friend that just a got a Buell and that thing is a beast. Sucker will do wheelie for ever.... &nbsp;Well good luck with your bike..

Buell's are definitely torque monsters (so are Ducati Monsters though...yes they are really called a Monster.). &nbsp;Your bro has a very very very nice bike!!! &nbsp;Mine's a Ducati also, it's a 1995 900SS. &nbsp;It was the World Champion Super Bike that year, so I can't complain at all. &nbsp;I plan on getting another Ducati somewhere down the line, once you've tasted the best, everything else is just chopped liver.

Ya my brother is a pain in the ars. I have been trying to get him to sell me that bike for 3 years. He wants to get a new 998 but he doesnt want to sell his duck cause it was the last hand made bike by ducati. I personally want to get 748 cause im pretty small so I would fly on that sucka... but im really just concerned with my 240 right now...... damn I hate being poor.

Yeah, he shouldn't sell the bike, 916's are few and far between to get your hands on. &nbsp;He shouldn't ride it either. &nbsp;He should just put it on a nice little pedistal! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> &nbsp;Haha. &nbsp;The new 998's are sweet!!!! &nbsp;I want one of those myself, but I think that I'll just wait for them to come out w/ their 4 cylinder 250 HP beast!!!!!

Bah, suzuki already has the three fastest street legal bikes there are! &nbsp;Besides, the one w/ the supercharger would not be allowed to race, so I doubt that they'll make it (that weighs heavily for sport bike companies). &nbsp;The Ducati on the other hand, will be racing, and destroy EVERYTHING!!!! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
