The old livery looks pretty good on the new R1.

What I really want is an updated FZ1 but that R1 could nudge the old Ducati 999 out of the garage.

Damn Russ, I was hoping to ride your new R1 at Thunderhill next month. You have time to go buy one before our upcoming track day!
I'm thinking about it! I've been eyeing the 50th Anniversary LE version - Brembos, Ohlins, slipper clutch, etc... Available around the bay area for about $9k. then Yammie has to come out and put the new bike in the same colors - very cruel! But the '06 is still a sweet looking ride....

If Rossi wins this year, and if Yamaha comes out with a commemorative edition in honor of the championship, then I will buy one as a matter of principle.
