when I went to buy a bike I was looking at an XB a hypermotard (the smaller one) a monter a street triple R and looking FOR an RC51 or an affordable superduke
the only bike really in contention was the hypermotard but it scared the woman (it was a demo with an exhaust and some other goodies so it went like snot and sounded like anger)
the hyper was like riding a telepathic machine, I swear it would start turning in before you even got around to moving your arm!
very nice bike IMO
but now its time to add more power to the stable *evil grin*
