Sorry guys I have this sickness for speed that is tempered by this sense of self preservation thing that has kept me up on two in most cases although I have only been over 140 mph a couple times.
I am totally hip to a Mortabelli Puma with electronic changes to do an easy 220 on the flat and narrows or an Aprilla two stoke just twisted to the hilt.
I rode an RZ 350 once that pulled like a V Max and that two stroke thing totally rocks. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif
What's your dream bike?
Edit: I may have spelt it wrong but the Puma was a V-8 bike with four values per cylinder and the motor was built by the masters at Masquerade. Tough search to say the least and a collectors item to say the least as well.
Ridem hard and putem away wet!

the 999 is sure one nice bike

my personal favs are:

1) Ducati 999
2) Yamaha YZF-R1
3) Suzuki Hayabusa GSXR1300

in no particular order

I've always had a thing for Ducatis. Here are my dream bikes. They're not full size though, I know I'll kill myself if I had one. So this is the closest I'll get (mini moto). /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowlaugh.gif


My 1st dream bike:

GRC (Italy) Lazer, 40cc 6.2HP (Collector's item, no longer in production)

My 2nd dream bike which I now own (pictured is mine):

DM Telai (Italy) Mini Race, 40cc 10HP Water Cooled

These are toys for the big boys, they are used for competition only. Mine cost just under $3000, tops out at just under 50mph, and will easily wheelie if your not careful. Just to give you an idea of how small they are:

(that's me on my bike)

I prefer the original Duke 916. The new design is not nearly as pretty. Make mine an SPS.

I have been working on finding a picture and I just haven't been able to come up with one.
Sweet bikes guys and the ducks (Ducatis) too.

Dr. J is that an old Guzzi on top?

The little bikes look like a blast but the shoulder pump should be intense.
That Yamaha makes me think of the Kawi three cylinder two stokes. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/drool.gif

That's funny it says it's a Vincent and that was my first guess but I asked if it was a Guzzi. Those old Vincent's were some really fast bikes.

Not too many thumpers in the croud.
If I had to pick from the newer 4 stroke thumpers I would have to go for longevity in the MZ Scorpions.

The motor was developed through the Paris Ducar rallys when they were still running. The motor is an 660 XTZ Yamaha. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Those Vrods are sweet!

I guess I kind of have a taste for the exotics.

I wonder if Jay Leno has a Puma? I know he is into all the different kinds of engine configurations and has the Y2K bike.

I do have to say I like them all as well.
