Congratulations on the sale but what if anything are you looking to replace it with?

Thanks for asking.

Sadly I think I will be leaving the Bimota family (at least for a while) - while the Tesi is absolutely GORGEOUS to behold, the scary thought of dropping it, or worse, binning it, is always on the back of my mind.

Not that I am in the market for a new Bimota, but the recent new models - starting from the DB9 on - also has been a huge turn off for me and I feel that Bimota has lost their direction (again...).

I'm probably getting something that I can ride without the fear of a super expensive repair bill and something that I can feel safe with even if I leave it parked and go catch a movie.

Been looking at the new 2013 KTM Duke 690R or a Guzzi Griso SE just for a change of pace.

The Vyrus 986 is super nice (always a fan of alternative front ends) but then again it's the same problems all over again. Plus the street version looks butt ugly with those over sized spot lights.

My '86 DB1 is still up for sale if anyone is interested!
