Well, on one hand i have a 1000cc bike with tons of high end power, which is what I would use the bike for since I do 90% freeway, and on the other hand i have the porsche of bikes with less to end power but more mid range power/torque. I think I am gonna go with the R1. ---- the twistys i'd rather do 300mph and test darwins theory.

Sucks you didn't get paid on the deal, though. I appreciate you taking one for the team; that guy could have killed a kid who hadn't had a chance at life yet. Thank you.

I really wouldn't call it the Porsche of motorcycles. Modern Porsches are built similar to Japanese cars in terms of engineering, whereas consistently oil leaking less than 100% robust Ducatis are really ------- definitely 100% pasta engineering. Much like OG British sportscars they have soul, but they aren't the flawless appliance-like infallible machines the jap bikes are.
BTW, Darwin will own your ***. Dunno if I should say good riddance or I'll miss you. Good luck.
