well I can tell you this much my Cousin has both those bikes but the Aprilia is the factory version not the R and he loves them both but he says for the street the Honda is a better bike for both comfort and speed but the Honda has no chance on a track since the Aprilia can handle better. just what he told me...

Ok, the bike was booked for this Friday at 5 pm

I went for the CBR which is indeed a black and basically shiny new CBR 929RR. very damn sexy! I can't wait!

I also saw the Aprilia, mad bike, actually today it had slick tires, no rearview mirrors, no lights even I think.. probably used on track too then.. better let it alone

Can't wait for the weekend now

Sounds interesting TT......it will be strange to see photos of a bike instead of cars from you.

^ funny you should say that about the Busa

I always looked at them and thought 'that looks too big and heavy to be enjoyable' I sat on one and it fit me like a glove.

I purchased a Busa about three months ago but I won't be riding it...



...



...It's a Tamiya 1:12 model lol

You bet she is a biker too! When we still had the Harley she just loved to come with me for a ride. Let's see if she will be quick enough to take nice panning shots of a CBR doing a wheelie at 200 km/h sure whatever, I would never try a wheelie on a rented bike and for sure not at more than 1 km/h!

BTW, before the nice weekend, tomorrow, I will have a Porsche 997S special, pics to come soon
