Really like the new Gladius. They are finally hitting the show room floor so will have to ride one to see how it feels but it is a sweet looking bike!

I am completely eat up with desire for another Duc. Any of the 4-valve bikes are great, but I really want to find a 900SS/SP. Easy to service, lasts a long time and makes beautiful music. There is one on e-bay in Jacksonville that looks tempting, but I will have to force myself to sell my Honda before I can roll on one.
I do get distracted though. There is an Aprilia RSV Mille locally for $5800. that looks sweet. |
I haven't decided for sure, yet. Besides, it's going to be awhile. As much as I love and want a bike, I believe that it's a luxury item. I still can't afford luxury items.

I won't be and can't be wanting anything different anytime soon.
But I suppose a Bayliss Replica wouldn't be all that bad to have. |

Bought a used one ('99 with about 7500 miles on it, nice shape) rode it three times, it left me stranded 3 times (electrical twice, busted balance shaft once.... and last..fixed it, and sent it on down the line.........). Bike was underpowered for what it was...looked great, handled nice, unique.....just don't buy one that had ever spent ANY time near redline... oiling system was marginal, so top end issues were common on bikes that had done track days and the balance shaft issues were supposedly fixed with the mid-run 668's before they punched the motor out to 750....not true. The right side counterweight was on too flimsy a shaft/bearing journal....so at high rpms(500 rpm BELOW redline) the counterweight would start to whip the end of the shaft.....stress cracks would start and WHAM..........lots of expensive noises........ |

Pretty sure... Night Rod.
