yet? Currently looking around at which model will fit me best...I really like the Hyper.

I'm Joe, I ride an Aprilia RS125...I think the only one in town.

Have met a few of you, and perhaps a few more as time goes by!

cheers

Hi Joe,


Welcome.

I came from a sportbike/racing background into the Hyper and I really like it too. Stop by On Any Moto and talk to Scott. He can give you the rundown on this bike as he and his wife have had them for a long time.

For the record, I've been here for a while but don't really know too many of these guys. I live in Sierra Vista so until the weather warms up a bit, I won't make the rides/meetings. Hopefully soon.

Dave

Hey,

The Hyper is cool, but I need to ride one at some point to really know. Sitting on it feels good. My problem is I'm really mostly looking for a track day bike that I just ride on the street once in a while. The Hyper seems like a very good choice for the other way around though.

We'll be going up to Sierra Vista again at some point when it warms up a bit.

I am thinking the other way around. 3-4 track days a year, and mess around on the street the rest.

I'll be happy to sell my generator and tyre warmers etc...I miss the simpler days of going to the track...

Put the stuff up for sale in the Marketplace section if you need to.

I'm hoping to get some people to go out to the track a little more often so this might be a good spot.

Congrats Cake!!

I'm guessing that you bought the Hyper from Scottsdale Ducati. Did you sell the 125 or did they finally take it in trade??

Dave

ON EDIT: it's not Black is it??

Sold the 125 to a nice guy in Chicago, it shipped last tuesday. He has the bike, and is happy.

I passed on the Scottsdale ducati bike; they pulled a two-faced deal on me so I walked.

Found the bike on SFbay craigslist listed without pics. Talked to the guy a bit, nicer gent that owns some property here in Tucson. He's transporting the bike here on wednesday of next week. Gave him a small deposit yesterday, and he's having the bike serviced today. (new tyres, oil changed etc)

And it's RED! :shock:
