How (and why) to Ramble on your goat sideways
I'm biased too, I say get an SV650.
I run bitches down all day at the race track...I especially love passing the liter bikes hardparking it in the corners. The full range torque on the SV makes riding and tracking soooo easy. I run the majority of Mid-Ohio in 3rd gear. I upshift to 5th during the back straight, then back down to 3rd entering the next corner...then just have fun. An instructor got away from me at my last track day, and there were 2 or 3 liter bikes that would hang with me for 2 or 3 laps, beyond that - nothing.

If you're going to be a track junkie, get a 600cc sportbike. If not, get the SV. If you just want to be a stereotypical squid, get at Gixxer.
Anyone in the market for a kickass custom Glock 30? I've got an early-gen no-rail G30 with an extreme grip reduction/re-angle and stippling job from Boresight Solutions, 2 mags (with reduced and stippled bases), melonite-coated Heinie Straight-8 sights, a Ghost Rocket transfer bar, a mild trigger polish job, and a smooth-faced Glock trigger. Plus 2 holsters, 1 kydex Raven Concealment Systems, and 1 leather OWB (don't remember what maker, might be UBG).

If ever in doubt, remember that it's always about money. Always.
I fell in love with Kawi z750s today at the stealership, 2005 model. Hopefully will be able to pick it up tommorow for 3k.
I am a competent rider and this bike will be used for highway commuting to school 30 minutes away

So far I've come across a racoon, an old guy smoking in his garage, a teen couple talking by a car, and not ONE moving car yet. Ridden 2 miles or so around the neighborhood so far.

Bah, I ordered the logitech G15, and the ******* Z key takes twice the effort to register. Now I have to send it back and won't have a replacement sent my way until the faulty one arrives at their wharehouse.
Not as good as NEMESIS!!!! But, still funny.
Wow, I just looked up the producer of the blower kit on that Exige. The whole thing is very high quality, especially that intake manifold. Check it out..ZING!
