Yeah, that's also the problem with running a double bubble on a street bike. Normally the wind hits you at chest level, with a DB its right under your helmet when riding normally so it's noisy as poo poo. It's nice when you're laying on a tank bag over long stretches though.

You pick up like 30-40whp / 20ftlb over a street triple and then that $2k difference buys a Penske rear shock and whatever someone releases for the forks (I don't think there is anything yet). I do know a ZX10R rear shock bolts into them so there is the super budget option - though a single adjustable Penske is like $650-700.

I loved my 675 but I'd love to get my hands on an FZ09. It's everything I wish the SV650 was.

I think you'd be surprised to find the FZ09 makes the same power as the Speed Triple :v:

edit: Oh

If you don't like the feeling of 0 to 60 in under three seconds you are a boring soulless person.
You may pry my 0-100mph in 7 something seconds bike out of my cold, dead hands. Actually, I guess you won't need to do much prying. :v:
