i wasnt hoping for anything in particular, but i will say this: the bike is much much different than characteristically a v-twin motorcycle commonly is. my ktm is very smooth, very light and very easy to ride. riding a ducati is almost like work to ride it out its supposed to be ridden.

im very very happy and look forward to building this bike to perform at a top level. its not going to be a commuter bike or a daily street rider. it was built for the track and to driven to its limits, and thats what intend to do with it.

Motorcyclist Killed After High-Speed Crash Overnight Tuesday April 17, 2007 11:07am Posted By: Kevin King
Tulsa - A Broken Arrow man was killed early Tuesday morning after a motorcycle accident on Highway 169 near 81st Street.

Witnesses say the cyclist was going faster than 100 miles per hour when he crashed into the back of a semi truck between 81st and 91st Street at about one o'clock Tuesday morning.
Investigators say evidence shows the cyclist was going about 120 miles per hour at the time of the impact. It took the truck driver more than a quarter of a mile to come to a stop. When he did, he stepped out of his rig and found the motorcyclist dead at the back of the truck.
"The truck driver was not hurt," says Captain Matt Kirkland. "He said that the impact was so strong that he thought he was hit from behind by another truck."
Officers said there was no indication that drugs or alcohol played a factor in the accident.

INFAMOUS TACO BELL MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT
The Story: The rider, before the accident, was having an argument with his girlfriend, and left home on the bike to "cool off." Investigators believe he was going about 120MPH when the accident occurred. Investigators also believe that the man was not wearing any gear whatsoever. Pictures of this accident are very hard to come by, so unless you saw it in 2007 when it happened, chances of finding them are hard.

no way.. the track IS safety first. i'll be in full leathers and riding boots and theres no cars for me to get hit by. as you can see in odds posts, none of those deaths were on a track and all of those guys were most likely riding piece of shit "affordable" jap bikes. those bikes give those ppl this false sense of reality, they think they have a legit race bike under neath them and they think they have the skills to match. in most cases those riders have neither.
