Its black on black with the carbon inlays. Wait for it.......6900 Canadian. The dude paid 12500 for it last December. Saw the bill of sale! His wifes lawyer told him to sell!!!

dpage, Nature abhors a vacuum ... one person crying, one person smiling. A balance has been kept.

Splitting up from the Mrs can always be a bonus!!! It was for me

I was after a bike for years, but Mrs & kids put a stop to that.

We split up last April and 3 months later I got myself an '02 Daytona and the Daytona is cheaper that than the ex...

Every cloud does have a silver lining....

Man what a bike. I rode an 04 speed 3 for the past while and I thought I was in love. Nope,now Im in love. The way this bike growls post 7000 rpm is wild. Ive done the wide open thing on jap bikes, This is an experience all on its own. Might not be 180 hp, but lets be seriouse: who uses that responsibly anyway? This bike is a dream to ride, looks f**Kin awsome and sounds wild 100% stock. Now just have to make a deal with the devil to keep snow away from Edmonton AB!!
