I've had my 99 Monster 750 for about 14 years now. Still love the bike, but I've always had my eye on the racing lineup. I've always loved the style of the 916s, 1098s and Panigales (we won't mention that 999 design misstep).
Trouble is, I'm getting to be an old guy, and leaning all the way forward is becoming more daunting. (My Monster has clip-ons and it's getting less comfortable every year).
I saw this and knew I'd found my answer. Beautiful superbike styling (including the single-sided swingarm) with Monster pricing and a comfortable riding position. I've ordered an S from Motohio in Columbus and they say I should have it by the end of April.
Thanks to the moderators for starting this site. Looking forward to mining the group's wisdom for accessories and such.
