Anyone else have a hard-on for the Streetfighter?

What about for someone with maybe 10k miles on various 750 and 800 standard and viffer Honda's? Perhaps I should just stick with the 1100 monster?

I saw the Streetfighter in person this past Sunday and it is absolutely stunning. Saw some pics of a red one too, and the red looks even better. I also would not recommend it as a first bike for anyone. Jamie, how long ago did you gain that riding experience? You should be ok as long as you have self control, which I assume at your age, you have.

I was at my local Duc shop just today and they're getting several each of the Streetfighter and the new Monster 1100 in round about the second week of January.
Solid shop not prone to talking smack. They're also an Aprilia shop, they had some awesome Tuono's in house too. And damn were they making deals... Tuono's at $10k...

Love em!
I had a Millie R, so I pretty much love anything Aprilia does. Since getting away from crotch rockets I've been looking at the Monsters, Tuono's and now the Streetfighter.

If you were so green that you didn't know a thing about throttle control, then I'd wave you off.
