My 70 year old brain is saying yummy. The 70 year old body however ....

I wonder if they still kick on the wrong side?

Not sure you have to worry about kicking a 150 hp Duc! Lol

If you can your a better man than me, not sure I even want to push start that bike down a steep hill?

Sure looks like the sitting position leans forward a lot..

I rode a friends 996 for a quick 15 minute zip around town. When I got back, my wrists were killing me. If you are lapping a track at 90-120 the wind blast will take a lot of your body weight off your wrists. Around town, not so much. Like Humblebub, comfort is numero uno for me. Pain is no fun.

Musta been for my 996 friend as well. He sold his with just under 1000 mi on it. It had the carbon fiber exhaust upgrade and was sex-on-wheels sitting still. Like an Italian ex-wife, he probably still misses her, until he remembers the pain.

When I was younger, I'd look at something like this, and sigh because I couldn't afford it. Now that I'm older, I could probably afford it, but now I sigh because I'm not as tough or brave as I used to be. Sigh.

Loved the comment about Italian ex wife. Pretty much describes feeling when I think about my Multistrada 1100. Great bike, rolling red sex, but the R1200RT is more my style now.
