She weighs roughly 419lbs. wet, and is pushing roughly 146hp at the crank. 0-100mph in less then 6 seconds. I have it up to an indicated 142mph, and there was plenty left.

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
Glad to see you got a real bike.
I guess if you can't afford a 1098 Ducati, this is the next best thing. Both developed by Australian riders. The two Troys. Harvey.

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
I never liked Ducati's. I would get a BMW HP2 Sport or new S1000RR over a 1098 ANY DAY, never mind the new Aprilia RSV4. Now this is a hot bike:

It makes the bike more ridable, they can pull a higher gear through the corner, instead for shuffling through a few gears to try to keep the power flowing. The Ducati has proven to be the top of the Super Bikes for a few years, due manly to the Desmodromic valve gear. Harvey.

I would agree with your friend Tiger. V twins give better low end response on the road. Almost like comparing a V8 to a straight 6 or 4. But I like Ducatis, although I have not yet bought one. I'm fond of V4s and straight 4s, still. Joe

There's a 95 Daytona forsale on Lanc Craigslist for a very reasonable $1500. If the wife didn't just fork over way too much for a plasma tv it would have already been in the garage.

Re: Pics of my bike for Alan
Im not riding a sport bike per say, more of a roadster.
Either way I love my BMW R1150R.
