New bike

Now I'm seriously looking for a new bike.. here's what I'm looking at..

Now I was thinking somthing like this.. in no perticular order..
so what do you think?
My biggest worry with the vfr is wheelie potential..


option 1- vfr 800... good power, good ergos, love the single swinger... better touring bike

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/New-2...QQcmdZViewItem

Option 2- 1000rr- super fast- newer model to what I currently have .. looks killer
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ayphotohosting


Option 3- r1 could go yami.... and as close as a 1000rr as yami could get..

The VFR seems quite out of place

I know, I was considering it for a little change of pace... but I think it just might be "off pace" but still.. it would be a nice bike..

Re: New bike

Get the VFR so that I can call you everyday on the phone that you own it and say "hey Matt" and you respond "what", then I say "your ghey" and I hang up. So unless you want that to take place, pic bike option 2 or 3 please.

Re: New bike

The VFR is a TANK. you will hate it!you thought my gixxer felt big? ha! If you dont get the repsol just cuz..well cuz it's the baddest lookin thing on the road,then wait for an 08 cbr1000rr cuz the 08 is supposed to blow everything else outa the water,and off the planet into intersteller nothingness. not only that you will like it too. I'm not totally against the MV, You deserve it-but It might bring a tear to my eye if I had to see it tested against the wrath of the Gnome....Uh yeah ,that's the only problem with the MV.....

Nahh, want something different. All rice burners look the same to me anymore. It's like, "hey there goes the 20th CBR I've seen today.......wow". Not positive it will be the Buell, but guaranteed it will be something that not cookie cutter fo sho. I love the KTM superduke also, not sure yet.

You get older and crochetier by the post. So are you going to have your user name changed to "Bikeless Dude" now?
