You can get 200HP from a ZX-10 *and* handling too.

The new Ducati 1199 Superleggera will be 200+hp, 133Nm, and 155kg (dry) out of the factory. And it is street legal (exhaust, lights, mudguards, indicators, etc). Expect to pay more than $100,000.

Yeah, but a ZX-10 looks like every other crotch rocket out there. This is a little more unique and, personally, a beautiful looking machine that really isn't even on the same page as a Kawasaki or a Suzuki.

LOTUS= Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious

If you don't buy that bike you're a fool. They can throw all the specs/prices at you they want, but at the end of the day it has the word Lotus painted on it and that's what matters. I ride a Harley - fuck logic and common sense.

I always regarded a Harley as a logical and common sense bike. Simple, reliable, good looking, economical, easy to maintain, long lasting, retains value, pulls chickybabes.
