I think I'm getting a bit of the "its a motorcycle" thing from my wife. Buell's put a lot of interesting engineering in their bikes. Especially that huge front brake rotor in the front and I think some of them store fuel in the frame. That would lower the center of gravity and tend to make the bike easier to handle. Something like that would probably have prevented me dropping my bike 2 times.

At least I'm not saying they look similar and your bike is a full dressed honda gold wing to the B-King. While I'm sure the Gold Wing and the B-King share design elements that would be a stretch even for me.

Personally, I'm looking to get rid of the mirrors sticking out of the top of my handlebars. Just a matter of time and money. It tends to ruin the lines on my bike.

Did the part with the number 69 come with the bike or was that an add-on?

A Nicky fan.

Yes I am , he rides a duck, but it a V-twin.

I don't think any of the MotoGP bikes are Twins. Even the MotoGP Ducatis are fours (V-4's) but yeah Ducati is synonymous with Twins I guess.

I like the colorized pipes.

Wrong !!!!! Go to the duck site.

He's right actually. The Desmosedici GPx and RR are both v4.

On a related note, 230hp and 326lbs wet. Geeeeeeez.

The 848 is just a production bike with Hayden's graphics and it is a twin. The race bike is a L4. (V4)

From what I gather it's actually kinda like two vtwins, at least in the way that it fires (both cylinders on one side fire at a time). Could be wrong, but that would explain why it feels so much torquier than the other GP bikes.
