those are about the only words i could mutter after getting off my dads new bike.

i had typed out a whole big long story but it got lost with a server error, so here's the 5 cent version. 1st gear, 30 mph, i don't listen to the "just roll on the throttle" warning, want to see what it can do, wack the throttle and i'm on one wheel before i can even say "Oh Sugar Honey Ice Tea" at 80 in 2nd with plenty more to go, but have to slow down because of my location. 60 more horses and 30 pounds lighter than my F4i this thing is a dream machine, sticks to the road like glue and keeps begging for more.

and the best part is some day it will be mine haha!!! he will never sell it and won't ride forever. so what i may be 40 by the time i get it, but that in itself is reason enough to keep a smile on my face till then!

 

What kind of bike does your dad have?

 

+1

 

wow i'm a TOTAL idiot haha... that was all included in the first story that got lost. Its an '08 Ducati 1098. that was like the key aspect of the hole story and i forgot to include it...
i'm such an ***-hat

 

+1 ^ Don't leave us hanging like that. But I'd bet it's a Honda Metropolitan!

 

Yep, my next bike actually. should be Nov. or Dec. and I'll have enough saved to buy the 1098S cash.

 

Yeah...Its a liter bike.

 

It is just amazing... the only things i didn't like were the rear brake lever. I'm used to having to angel in my foot to get to it, but the compensated by changing the angel of the lever. i'm sure i'd get used to it, but it was just a little awkward. and, if you move the bars full lock left or right (putting it in the parking space) your hands hit the fairings

 

Cool! Does that have a cable or hydraulic clutch? And does the dry clutch make a lot of noise like all ducatis?

 

Not sure about cable or hydraulic, but it didn't make alot of noise from what i remember. although i was reveling in the noice coming from the exhaust a little too much to pay attentiopn to clutch noise. Its also a little rough in the "idle in first gear" area, but its still getting broken in so that could clear itself up
