Ahh, the 650. It's not my style Kate, but it sure is a fine machine. I'm more of a http://tinyurl.com/8dqev but like I said at 12:04 last in another thread, "Doesn't freedom imply everyone giving everyone else their space, not everyone taking everyone else's space?" Y'all have a fine weekend now, y'hear.

Hey kate,

At a glance that bike looks a lot like my Ducati Monster 620 ... I ride on Vancouver Island daily, event it's just to get some milke for the coffee.
You would like riding here better than that pool table called Saskatchewan, no offence intended. But bikes are built to lean into curves sometimes.

You might like this.KTM Super Duke-120HP.999c.c.'s 395 lbs.dry weight.So far only in Europe but you'd look good even on a moped.Could be a few dollars more than the Cagiva.c.j.g.

I'm not a big fan of twins, with the exception of the Dukes I see them as nostaligia rides. Owned my share of them but I still come back to Honda sixes.

The Monster and the V-Raptor were designed by the same person.

Still rather have ANYTHING with a Yam 660 single in it. (Our dept. of transpo will not let me put an Muz Skorpion on the road,("because it hasn't been certified")- in spite of the fact that the motor has been imported into Canada in the quad 'Raptor' for around three years.... Duh!

Gotta admit it goes over my head, as I'm a car guy. A beautiful-looking machine, though!

My kingdom for a few car pics...
