good and bad
as most of you know i parted out my hawk due to the CCT's going and me not having the time to rebuild it the way i wanted too. sure i could have spent a weekend and prolly had it up and running again but i would have wanted to do pistons and atleast a hone while i was at it. i just have too many projects with the Mitsubishi eclipse im rebuilding an our second daughter and everything else. we are building a covered patio this summer and i just got our fence finished a week ago.
anyways the point im trying to make is MY NEW BIKE SHIPPED AND SHOULD BE HERE IN 7 TO 10 DAYS. PICS ON ARRIVAL. GAWD i cant hardly stand it.

dang near, maybe next time. i actually found a new tuono factory and made an offer on it before the guy from the dealer with the bike i did buy called with a better deal.
hint, theres only 11 dealers in the U.S. for the brand of bike i bought.

honestly i really wanted an NR750. bit out of my price range though.
Ural? arent those the bikes in the Indiana Jones movies??
NOTE: wouldnt own a DUC if sumone gave it to me. (or a harley) though i did ponder a Buel with a rotax engine for a short time.

the brands is listed in a post but not one i could easily make a comment on.
the RC8 is dreamy, out of my price range, no on the laverda, none were easily sourceable.
the bike i got has a passenger area that actually gets fairly good reviews.

You went orange didn't ya?! If so I bet its a KTM SuperDuke.
EDIT - Wait nevermind I saw your post about it having good reviews on the passenger seat area lol. I know its no SD then. I rode one on a KTM demo day. AWESOME bike but I wouldn't give the seat any good review at all.

Ok, lets go about this scien... scifi... Well... Like the guys in white coats do...
It's not a Honda...
Ducati = "wouldnt own a DUC if sumone gave it to me."
Ural = " Ural? arent those the bikes in the Indiana Jones movies??"
Agusta = No ( to many dealers...)
Moto Morini =No (Only 7 dealers)
Bimota = Nope (only 13 dealers in the US)
Laverda = No
KTM = No (more than 11 dealers)
Aprilia = No (also more than 11 dealers)
Benelli = Probably, as they have exactly 11 dealers in the US...
So now the question is, what bike did they make that actually has a passenger seat?!
TNT or Tornado?

laverda is not in production. was bought by aprilia. then aprilia bought by piago. piago said they would sell rights to laverda if a buyer presented itself but they will not build using that brand name.
good job tweety, now which one from the other green teem? (the bike i got aint green though)
dont forget i mentioned about what i paid for it so that limits the bikes some what too.
