im finding myself attracted to the 999R.

it's really a sexy looking bike. i bet the L twin sounds good too.

i won't be able to afford one but even if for some reason i do get the money... i can't justify the $31K USD price tag.

sure it's practically race ready w/ all the racing goodies that comes stock w/ it but it's only about as powerful as my 750 (not saying it's weak but if im gonna buy another sportbike, im gonna buy a more powerful one). i guess it being an L twin means it will handle a lot different (esp the torque) so that's kinda cool.

anyway... i guess i would like to rent one, one of these days.

how about you guys... if you could rent any production bike for a day, which would you rent?


EDIT: PS. i just saw that it's still 399lbs dry... i wonder why... w/ all the CF parts it has... im surprised it still weighs that much.

I'd rent the ducati 999r & victory hammer.

id probably rent that new zx14 out of curiosity even though theyre ugly as sin. either that, or a chopper of some kind.

I'd get a Boss Hoss and go Hayabusa hunting.

Seriously though... I'd take an Aprilia RS250. Screaming 65HP two stroke in a 275lb chassis? Sign me up.

500 HP is a pretty big cannon to go hunting with

Yeah, but that 1100 pound weight makes it fair.

true. those things are frigging mammoths...as long as the Busa doesnt make the Hoss have to back up, it might be a fair fight

I'd like to rent a Yamaha FZ1 for the day....love that bike !!

I'd take a MotoGP bike out for the day... with zero deductible, full coverage insurance of course.
