EDOSM got my vote.  I'd love to see more info on his bike.  His and Forwheeldrift are my main inspirations when planning out my cafe/streetfighter.

Man, I've got to get, like, four log-in names, just so I can vote multiple times. I've got to back my horse, but, man, Tough choice once again.

Too bad Voting for President couldn't be like this. You know, which ever one wins, you know it's a deserving victory.  :D ;)

Amen! Whoever wins should feel extra special for beating out the others. Man that's a tough call.  :-\

Man what a hard choice.   

It came down to the one that had nothing I didn't like and one that I had some things I don't care for, but I haven't seen anything done like it before. 

All of them kick ass though.

I'm just back from a little top end test, had my son follow in his WRX to double check speedo accuracy. The little bike can really accelerate, I'm not sure my 750 could hang with it, that'll be another test session! At 9200 rpm it wouldn't quite pull redline and it ran out of wind at 185kph (115mph) Removing a bunch of heft, and adding a little grunt  really wakes up these middle weights.

Here's the view he had!

No Hef, I have tags for it, just removed for the pic. Not that would make a difference in the eyes of the law. Picked a quiet straight stretch of road and shouldn't condone such activity but needed to satisfy my curiosity...old road racer urge!

Thanks to all who voted.

And to you Rushoid, the first opportunity, you'll get your ride!!

I have been interested at the reaction of other bikers to this 550. It's as if they feel they should recognize it but something isn't right, usually walking away from it to gander at my 750. I wasn't sure what the members here would think either but as least we are all SOHC4 aficionados and have keen eye and an open mind! Bottom line is my wife is happy with her new ride.

Thanks again,

Brent
