Why would you buy the exact same bike a second time?!?
Beautiful. I test-rode a 959 this summer. The riding position's too extreme for my style of riding, but I had a blast. Superb engine and the exhaust note from the stock pipe is amazing.
Honestly all I wanted was a clean red sport bike, preferably used but who knew its so hard to find one? I couldn't find any 09-12 ZX6R's or Daytonas with reasonable mileage so I was considering a new Daytona but just couldn't get over that front end. I really hate those stupid silver eyelashes they gave the poor bike.
In the end I decided if I was going to be spending 8-10 grand I might as well get something I really love. I've always had a thing for a Ducatis and it was exactly what I was looking for...got the insurance quote numbers looked good and I got a great deal with 0% financing so put down the cash I had instead. I will be keeping this bike for a while possibly forever, so I'm happy, its only got about 150km's on it so far but I think it'll be great in the long run. Valve checks are at 24k km intervals and oil changes once a year but I'll be doing those more frequently.

There's a Panigale hiding behind the Honda. That's Heather Bashow's bike (and picture) btw, for those of you who know her.
Quoting some year old posts because I'm never in this thread. Lol
Seem to be mixed reviews of those tires. Seems either people absolutely love them or think they have poor grip and wear fast. I think the ones disliking them are putting them on heavier bikes though.

I'd love to try one of these sometime. Almost bought one from the UK. Maybe I'll have to upgrade from the 125 sometime.
Looks a lot like the CBX I bought this year.
Rebuilt from engine up. 1974

I highly recommend them. I hope to do at least two of these practice sessions a year.

Yes, absolutely recommend, especially if you haven't taken any form of advanced rider training before. The instructors are very dedicated and thorough. Plus, it's a lot fun.
Oh! Look at me! I take nice pics of my nice bike while I'm probably wearing nice kicks! Lol.
Love that BMW buddy!

Pic is too big, had to open in a new tab. Nice bike!
