My new beast...

Yep, you are right. It is not a question of money, speed, shape, etc... I just felt my heart beat syncronized with her 'beat' while I was riding her. A feeling that is very difficult to explain. I ride my bikes every single day (through the rainy, sunny snowy, foggy days). I love riding bikes.
The 999 is a great bike (although I prefer the 998), but there was not the 'click' between us...
I hope I am not going to have my next 'click' with a 'Vespa'... That probably would be a serious issue. ;-)
I would like to have some advises about how to get the best 'running in'. I heard so many different opinions.

Congratulations, ams67. Lovely bike!

Hope you really enjoy it (and don't have any issues with the dealer

).

That is one awwwwesome bike

So what sort of deal did the shop come up with where you traded two bikes for one? A 2004 Aprilia (brand new) is currently available for $28K

Did the shop cut you sharp deal on the Aprilia due to your CBR? I'm guessing its a 2004, so is a superseded model and they would be keen to shift it anyway. What year was your 520? Was it a EXC? Guess if your happy with the deal, thats the main thing but doesnt look if they did you any real favours, huh? I thought you werent happy with the way the bike shop treated you?
