01 SV650. I use it to commute when the temp is above 40. I'd love a new HD Fat Bob Dyna, but it's more than a xB. BTW, I use to live in Madison. Riding in WI was great. I still wish there was a job for me there.

Thanks for chiming in boyz. The sv's are a blast to ride. Very nice custom would like to get one mysef. And how could you sell your cbr man, that's just insane. I could never part with my bike. It's 27 years old now, still goes like hell and always stars and runs very reliably.
Hail all fellow riders!

Wife and son demand attention. It hurt, but I was also encountering a lot of harassment from local cops and I was not an a$$hole rider either, simply I was a rider. Wasn't worth it. Son is in soccer now, work, and what little time I have left is gym and wife. Still need to tinker with something, hence why I'm here, back to audio I go on the xB2 to keep me at bay.
Great bike though. /sobs

I saw the 848 and the Monster 696 at the Seattle stop of the Int'l Motorcycle Show. To me, pics of the Ducs don't show how tiny these bikes are and feel. The 848 is quite the mean little package. Good luck landing one.
The 109 is a different kind of beast. It seems it could smoke a tire every time you start it up. It's be a great bike for the moraines of WI.
And, in my opinion, the Polaris counts. Thanks to everyone for speaking up.

I can now get the new ride and all new gear too.
I can't wait.

Very nice bikes, like the zx-11 very mean bike, the ducs are very cool , expensive but very cool, like to get my hands on the $75,000 duc in cycle worlds last issue. any body ever road race or go to a track day, my bike's alittle obsoulite for that but have always wanted to. Used to ride motox and how I miss it so.
