^^^^damn
thats a nice colour
while u had it, did it ever give any trouble? i know bikes are unreliable at times........even with good maintenance and no hard running............someone i was speaking to said its mostly because of how many things need to be in such a small thing. |

Never had any problem with it while I had it.
The new owner also has had no problem with it.
It runs like a charm.
Yeah, I always loved that Candy Red color on that bike.  |

^^ok thats cool.....
thing about a ducati, the service intervals are short, and then they need valve adjustments often.........and there are no dealers in T&T(well to my knowledge there arent any), so thats a headache right there..........
this is the one i like, the 2009 monster 1100S, i like the white, but the frame on the white one is only available in black......i think it would look better if the white had a red frame....but ducati thinks otherwise..........

there is also a serious design flaw.......notice the oil filter......if a stone hits it, it could rupture, oil then falls onto the road......exactly where the rear tire will run...........that wont end well.........they should have at least put some sort of shield there........... |

Very sweet lookin bike. I agree with you about white with red frame. That would have been insane.
Naked bikes look cool, but at speed the wind really fights you.
I rode a MV Agusta Brutale once. Did not like it much. Sweet bike but the lack of fairings did not help much with the wind.

the brutale is pretty much the exact same bike.....engine is a different, think its closer to the S# series monsters..........saw one in south, has some kind of sparkly paint, and red Marchesini rims........looked like it flipped, headlight was broken, rear faring was scratched, top of the instruments, and some of the plastics by the brake lever was scraped up........quick though, very quick
i understand what you're saying about the wind.....the lack of a windscreen has a lot to do with it as well..........and its a more upright riding position too....so more wind........i guess its like the car you only bring out once every month or so.......just to make a long run, not too fast, but just to enjoy it and then cover it back up............pretty much like most Ferrari cars  |

^^^^the power from it is mad in a bike like that.........155bhp.....compared to the monster's 95bhp
but i dont really like its looks too much, looks too "busy", it has too many lines and sharp corners, like the designer only had a ruler to design it (reminds me a bit of the Vyrus), and the headlight looks like it came from a scooter
it does have some nice points though.....its liquid cooled unlike the monster....which is a plus in traffic
it has 4 valves per cylinder.....and the rear looks good (the only perspective i'll ever see it from anyway )
no doubt if i was on a monster, that bike would have me eating dust  |

I liked the yellow. I liked the flames.
Also the only other color I liked was the Eurospec White. But a friend of mine ordered that one. His is the only eurospec 2008 R6 in the country.
For the R1 though, I will be limiting myself to the Eurospec colors only.
However, my friend who has the R6 is also ordering the R1. So two eurospec R1's will be ordered, most likely the Black and the White.
And right now, I can safely say that I am very happy with my choice of color as in person I think the yellow looks better than the white, and there is only one other yellow on the road. His is very stock and mine has some nice little accessories to make it look different.

GSXR 750 as a first bike?
Bro, it can be done once you have respect for the bike. I started off on an 07 R1.
But in my humble opinion, start with a 600.

ok thats cool.......are u going to sell the r6?
i think i saw the eurospec R6 not too long ago, was watching it, and thinking, 'thats not the normal colours, must be euro fairings'
just for clarification, it looks like this?
it looks a bit close to the 2009 US spec R6
the euro 2009 R1 black looks sick.......i really like that one, especially the small bronze highlights........i dont like the white soo much cuz of the pink/purple/lilac swingarm and frame, but i guess in person it will look better............
oh but wait....its 2010 models u'll be getting, so things will be a bit different......
i'm aiming for year end to get my bike.......not sure what it will be yet, but should be a trail, but if i get a good deal on a recent 600cc i might go there instead..........but i really should start with a trail........more my style , and if i fall it could be fixed with a close hanger and some spit
BTW how much warranty do you get from Grenes?(sp?) |

looks more like a quadbike........
when, or rather, if you lean it into a corner, does the outside wheel come off the ground, or does it level of independently? |

only going the 750 way because the price is right and it's my friend's bike. But definetly I respect the bike and more so the asphalt so it's baby steps from here on for me |

Yup, his R6 is exactly like that one. Beautiful bike. But now running Annodized red Carrozzieras (sp?), CRG Levers, Puig Wind Screen and rear hugger, Two Brothers Exhaust etc.
Yes the Euro 2009 R1 in black is sweet. But I do like the white with the Red Swingarm etc.
Waiting to see what the 2010 colors look like. Should be out in September.
I cant remember what warranty I get from Green. Will check it out. LOL.
I will most likely be selling my R6 by year end or when I get the R1. Whichever comes first.
The R6 is soo much fun to ride though. The handling is wow.  |
