Easily one of the most futuristic bikes out there. The fact your friend has so many exotic bikes makes me want to get him really drunk one night and steal his keys.

Haha, actually a friend of a friend, but a local collector of mainly Italian bikes. Great guy and always on something interesting. Actually he just picked up an RC8R (blk/orange).

I have to hand it to KTM, they do know how to make a awesome sales video.

Greg, just spent the weekend on the Island. Rain sucked! That Katana picture of yours was the '83 1100. The 1000 was the silver one from '82. Do you recognize this property?

^yep, been by it a few times now that you showed me. Frenchtown, Carrs, Hopk Hill, Middle. Good riding off Division (except for bumps and holes in the road). Actually a nice stretch of Hopkins Hill was just repaved, but they also did a horrible job this week on Division towards Rte 3. Bad weather for sure, we were going to ride to the MX at Central Village, (vintage yesterday, regular today, but too crappy out).

Bike from the once upon a time Motion State Cycles?

Motion State Cycles? Never heard of it. Must have been before my time.

I bought the bike new down the Cape. I rode it home in April (freaking freezin cold) from Hyannis to Milton. I had two of them. Saved one, raced the other. I still have the race bike but its an endurance racer now (has been since 85). Still a brute and fun to ride.

I think it was R&M in the 70's and Motion State until the mid 80's when they lost the Suzi franchise. Brother lives in Milton, nice town.

That's the best for me:

As far as 1000cc's goes it would have to be this

But my next bike will be

I seen a red R6 on white rims that looked super cool. Wish I had time to take a pic.

Now only if I was ready to move up.....

+1 for the R6

Well... That's for 1000cc sportbike, but if can be a 600cc, my next bike will be a Fazer 600.
