Last year I sold my Aprilia RSV Factory R and automatically started looking for a something newer and faster, in the shape of an 1198s. But when I actually thought about what I wanted, turns out it was something that's easy to tinker with and half enjoyable when you're not breaking the speed limit.
I totally get what you mean, a zingy inline 4 is a joy to pootle through endless villages at 30 and open up when you see that national speed limit sign. And let's be honest, when you're in the top half of the rev counter a 90s 750 is already too fast.

Yeah. As much as I loved the KTM it is so agricultural thinking about it. It took a lot to set the SMT up and even then is was still like riding a bull. The Duke was just lethal. Where as the blackbird would glide. So I'd love to try a gsxr, might mate the two, or perhaps a Daytona. But I'll keep dreaming.
That srad is timeless though. Will be as good in 10y as now.
