Walter Geez, you should have been a movie star. Maybe Ray can get you a part in "his" next movie.

My dream bike would be a Ducati 999, but theres no way I could get one of them in the near future. Much more realistically I would like a TL1000. Am I the only person on here that prefers sports bikes? For me the best bits of having a bike was getting from point to point as fast as possible, especially on the twisty country roads near where I live. Disclaimer: I only went about 70(ish) mph!

Gadget, I shouldn't tell you this then but I've raced / track day'ed a 916, 996, 998 and 999. As good as the old (916 style) bike is, the new 999 is a huge improvment. So much more stable under braking (big ball brakes too ) and you can actually square off turns on it. The 916 bike wanted very smooth, GP style riding, apex to apex.

The 999 was the first bike I learned how to control rear wheel spins exiting corners - spin it up at the apex and you can get the bike turned quicker, stood up on the middle of the tire quicker.

The TL-R is a decent bike (great motor) but the handling leaves much to be desired. Everyone I know racing them sinks a lot of time/money into the suspension, and still has a bike that they have to ride around the front end problems on. One guy a raced with (was very quick too) was always destroying front tires, if he stayed upright!

Have you thought about a used Duc? You can get 996's for next to nothing nowdays.
