Actually the maint has been nill other than valve adjust at 16,000 tires and oil bike has not cost me a cent (its a honda) like i said in the PM XB the buell gave me quicker times in NC than the RC but n the 100+ mph sweepers theres nothing more solid than that rc it just settles in and keeps pullin and i would take the XB over an SV anyday the TL's were good bikes but the rear suspension was gimmicky at best. One thing for sure the RC is the most Uncomfortable bike for sure, but when in its element i'm sold. You guys have a great day.

X youre so right about the MV 312 I would sell my soul for that bike i got to ride a Brutalle?(spell check) and it was probably the nicest bike i have ridden. Now the Aprilia RSV4 looks like game on!!!! But again the money thing is steep if i had it would be a1198R have a greatday people

I am also looking for a 2nd bike for longer rides and when my brother comes to visits , I was looking at a suzuki c50 it rode nice from what I can tell they are rock soild. Not to heavy but has eought weight. it is at a good price so I am really thinking about it.

I love the Brutale and seriously considered it at one time. With a full exhaust, it is easily one of the most intoxicating sounding bike ever built. At redline it sounds like a pride of lions being strangled to death.

Hype how much fun is the duc? i've seen the u tube vids and that guy(caporossi?) one of them was putting it through it's paces backing it in one handed !!!!!!!! it's got to be just an all around do everything great bike! i followed one trough the foot hills pass in NC and he schooled me! the only time i could get around him was in the long highspeed sweepers he had that bike just singing through the tight stuff. Well come to find out he was a local hot shoe that lived in the area and he said that it was the best bike HE's ever owned he also has a 999 and rides the hyper twice as much! maybe this should of been a pm oh well sory people have a great day>
