Too much work to look for a crowd killer meme... Insert your own here :lol:

Just got this bad boy in for a customer tomorrow. 1299 Superleggera

 

[R13]

That's nice, he'll enjoy those 3 rides before it's broken and costs 20k to fix.

 

[superhypered]

loool. The guy has bucket loads of money apparently. Can't imagine what the payout on one would be if I sold one.

By the way, I don't care if you guys poop on me, but I'm planning to get a 2016 RC390, but my boss is saying to wait until after my probation period. However in the meantime, we just got a used 08 R6 with 27k miles for about $4799 I believe. Gunmetal grey color, overall good condition it seems. Has a Brembo front brake master cylinder which is safety wired, looks like an aftermarket front suspension, sliders, and the reverse shifter (1 up, 5 down)

I'm getting the RC390 no matter what, but I really like this R6 and I already rode it, liked it alot. Wondering if it's worth my time to get the R6 for now and keep it until I get the RC390 or just keep both..

 

[R13]

They're both garbage, but the r6 will outlast the ktm.

 

[superhypered]

I don't plan to do anything with them besides canyon carving and splitting lanes to work because fuck traffic.

They'll both outlast your bike though :lol:

 

[R13]

Won't outlast my mustang though :mrgreen:

 

[94RS]

Your plan is to buy an R6, then buy the RC390?


Are you drunk? If not, you better plan on keeping that R6 after you get the KTM, because you'll want the power back once you're stuck with a thumper.

 

[R13]

You're wasting your time. He's mr. dealership salesman guy, he knows bikes better than we do. :lol:

 

[94RS]

Oh yeah....

 

[R13]

:lol:

On side note: I hate the satin finish on the superlaggera. Looks like a cheap ass wrap job. Part of the appeal to a duc is that gloss ferrari/Italian red paint that emphasizes on all the curves and edges of the machine.

 

[94RS]

I'm that weirdo that likes Ducatis and Ferraris in yellow....

But yeah, that one Jimmy posted looks like someone did a really good plastidip job... which still looks like shit :lol:

 

[R13]

You like the weird shit even with duc's, and I like about the most cliche duc possible :lol:

Though it does look pretty good in yellow :rolf:

...and carbon too

 

[94RS]

I thought the 996/998 were the same nearly the same, just like the 997/999...

And yeah, I do like the weird shit :lol:

Not really a weird one, but gets no love anymore

 

[R13]

997? You mean the 749/999? :lol:

That's like the 899/1199, or the 959/1299. The smaller cc one is just a cheaper, slower version.

Then there's the 748/996/998 :rolf:
