Yes...I have read all about the Triple but damn, it just does something to me...more than any other bike. I have very noice experience....a 600 sport bike. I am looking to buy something though adn once I started reading aobut that bike I realized that was "it"...i have spoken to a dealer who said that if that is the one I want, I should get it becuase you learn how to handle it but I also don´t want to be stupid. He said it was all in the wrist. I like the Ducati S2R and I have read that it is a good bike for peopleiwth limited experience but it just doesn´t do what the Triple does for me. I know what I should get...I know you are right and that with my limited experience, a Triple is crazy. I have just fallen in love...hahahaha....thanks for your imput though. Even with the S2R, I know I will be happy but it is jsut not the same as the Triple...thanks for responding....do you have any other advice for me sinc eyou have been riding longer than I have?
