I'd have that, if I didn't already have a DT200R.

That shamefully I've not even started since I bought it.

Good job they have manufacturers stickers on, as if it didn't you could tell me that was a Fireblade, R1 etc and I'd never have know different. Anyway the thread title says "interesting bikes" and there's nothing interesting about modern superbikes to me! ;) :D

That one has a BSB engine that's putting out 240bhp at the wheel.. if you can't find that interesting then you're dead inside :D

Interesting, it's fucking terrifying !!!!

Considering the power of the 1199 and speed of it, i can only begin to imagine what this thing rides like !

It's not just power, it's delivery and gearing.

Inadvertently wheelie-ing an RD250F (with Gibson spannies and about one tenth of the power of that Ducati) between two taxis down the Tottenham Court road, at the precise same moment as a van pulled out in front of me was quite terrifying enough.

You don't need power or 'delivery' to be terrified.

Riding my sister's 50cc Honda Twiggymobile along the A30, with artics thundering past was terrifying! :D

Honestly mate I wouldn't ride it even if someone said its fully insured, knock yourself out with it. Even with assumed riding aids of TC and AW I'd not be able to ride the thing. Every big capacity bike I've had has ended up boring me. I just dont have the skills to ride fast bikes, so i'd rather ride a slow bike fast, than a fast bike slow!
