..or trade in but don't trade off any of the current bikes. I think this makes way more sense than owning too CBRs.

Down to only one CBR, the 2012. The '07 was sold for scrap after my accident last August.I just removed the '07 from my signature line.

That's what I meant...there's an open stall. A new Panigale would fit real nice.

That would put a smile on my face Rook!

I just have this funny feeling. ...something is going to happen. The other bikes are going to be jealous.

Just came back from the Dallas Motorcycle Show where I got to see all the new bikes except for Aprilia and MV models. I compared the new ZX-10R and the 959 Panigale back to back, no comparison in the looks department, the Ducati has a quality feel to it that the new ZX-10R just can't touch. The Artic Silk White paint on the 959 is gorgeous, that's the color I'd want. The 10R in the KRT team colors, green, white and black just looked way to busy for my taste. Undoubtedly, the 10R would be faster but I think the Ducati would be the most fun to ride and give the greatest pride of ownership, it's a knockout!

I watched a video review on the 959 earlier today. They claimed it was easy to ride and less likely to surprise you.

I'd insist on the low flush mount exhaust. I'm seeing pics with that and also some with dual one side exhaust.

The ugly Euro 4 compliant side mount exhaust is only for Europe. The U.S and Australia get the sexy low mount system.
