    the hayabusa riders' new "bike of choice"....can't wait to see one stretched out or maybe with neon lighting underneath.

    i'm an owner....i love the bike, but i apparently haven't had as much of the koolaid as SunnY!

    Hardly a bike to replace the busa... Im sure its still shy about 20ft.lbs of torque and a whole whackload of midrange. Different segment entirely.

    Hey SunnY! You'll have a blast on the 800 this summer. Be sure to try and get to Calabogie if you can!

    F800S for now and my partner has a F650GS. Just got the email from the dealer that the S1000RR I put a deposit on is in the dealership. Going in tomorrow...time for the upgrade.
    Any S1000RR riders here?

    Blue F800ST, with Akrapovic exhaust. Its the first bike that I don't have an urging to replace with something else during spring - mind you those naked bikes look pretty good.

    If you guys don't stop talking about your S1000RRs, my wife is going to end up very angry with me.

    Hmm, sorry Richard, but the thing is amazing. And that's with the RPM restricted to 9k. I'm half-way through the break in at this point but I think the grin stuck on my face may be permanent.

    I am getting cautious about stopping at Tim's for a quick coffee though as it does tend to collect a small crowd.

    I'm 6'4" and the bike fits me perfectly. Very comfortable, despite the very firm seat. The brakes continue to amaze me and create my only scary experiences so far because I tend to feel when braking hard that the bike and I are about to part company. But I can't be pushing the brakes that hard because I have yet to have the ABS kick in.

    Is everyone going to the Motorrad thing at Mosport in July? I'm curious about it and I'm planning my vacation now and wonder if I should try to make sure I'm around for that weekend or not.

    I was lucky enough to ride this bike for 2 days on the track at the keith code race school. it is indeed amazing fun. the traction control and the wheelie control are very nice features, and the quickshifter is also a must have! I am going to install one on my track bike.
    here are a couple of shots of the bike on the track:
