Haha, Ducati ftw! But I have a couple of buddies who ride R6 and love them, I think they are awesome bikes!

lol thanks for that. I don't plan on stepping anywhere near the bike without gear. Plus i drive like everyone's out to get me so I'm quite careful in that sense.

I agree with Cjanik. If you are a smart rider then go bike. Even still, being a smart rider isn't everything. You still assume a lot of risk on a bike. I had a friend who died from blunt force trauma to the chest a few months ago after a truck didn't "left turn yield on green."

Enjoy the bike if you get it but ride smart.
