The CBR is going. I've always been more comfortable on my SV, even on the track.

So no it is definitely not more track focused.

Ok. Saturday, I was looking at an email from Pro Italia and noticed they had a Super Duke for like $6900. That seem to be a really good deal so I  was like what the hell, I should go look at it. I get there, and another guy is looking at it but they let me test ride it anyway. It was a great   ride, but while I was gone, the other guy bought it.

So I was about to leave, and the sales guy asks me if I've ever been interested in an Aprilia Tuono. They can get leftover 08s for like 4g off list.

So that's it. An 08 Tuono, blue and white. Coming from Texas, I should have it next week.

The CBR is going to one of my friends at work.

Nice!!  I specifically remember you test riding one at the IMS and lamenting that you'd get into trouble if you had one.  I fully expect wheelies and tickets on every ride.  Congrats!

I didn't think he'd give up the answer so easy. The new hotness should be here next week.
