So right now I have a 03 cbr600rr but just recently when I took it for a ride I heard the same rattle in the engine that the stealership said they fixed 6 months ago. Im pretty good at fixin cars but when it comes to sport bikes im clueless. I dont want to keep payin for these problems so Im thinkin about takin a break from the sportbikes for a while. I decided that as soon as I can afford it Im gonna buy the new Ducati Hypermotard. If youv never ridden a motard I sugest you do imediatly they are a ton of fun. I might try to keep the cbr and have two bikes but Im not sure I can afford the insurance. Heres a pic of the ducati Im gonna get it in the all black model I dont like red

Reminds me of a Bad A$$ dirtbike.

 

I would definately have to get rid of the front fairing and throw some twin lights on there but that is a pretty sexy bike! i've never actually seen one of those before If i was to put the twin lights on the front i'd definately get it in the red like the picture, ducati are known for their red bikes and there wouldnt really be much of it after stripping the front. i like the red frame though!
