If so, welcome to the ranks of happy Mille/XB owners. I own and love both bikes!

Wow Robert, a Busa to a scooter, quite the change! Can a scooter even get up the hills in Duluth? When are you coming down to show us the D&D pipe?

I was down there a couple of weekends ago on the Buell. When it was really nice out. I remember going to Bobs Java Hut about 10:00P.M and easily in the upper 60's. Now back to reality we've had snow flurries up here the last 4 days. God, I can't wait for the one nice week in July to come around! I'll give you a heads up before I come down again. My parents live in Wayzata, and my riding buddies live out in the Medina area. I am planning on going to homecoming. Are you? Oh yeah by the way those scooters are pretty fast on flat level road, 55ish mph. For a 50cc. thats not bad. Up the hills around here. 25 to 30 tops.
The funniest thing with those is they download a High Performance "map" with a Game Boy Controller. I Chit you not. I will Probably bring the scoots to Road America/homecoming. So if you are going you'll get a chance to ride one of the beasts.lol.

That little Aprilia scooter will have no problems climbing the hills in Duluth. It's liquid cooled and fuel injected. I'm jealous!

Nice scoot ya got there!

Yes, I did, or least going to if I ever get enough time to do the paperwork and pay up.
I've wanted one since 02 when I rode one. Just a cool,different bike. I also couldn't see paying new price for one! I took this one in on trade on a XB12R.
I haven't even had a chance to ride it yet.

Daves...Kudo's on a great score!

The track reviews on that bike are really great. Looks like it will be a contender at both Road America and Blackhawk.

Hmmm...smells like Dyna will be forced into a different riding technique now that you will be more of a challenge. Something akin to radical late braking and finally hanging off.

Sorry Dyna, I just couldn't resist the tease. No criticism intended. I only saw you ride once last year. That was your first time on the track with your R1 and you were still getting used to it.

Dang, I forgot Dyna is moving this weekend and will probably miss my feeble attempt at teasing him.

The Mille R is no match for the R1, just look at how much more HP he has.

Dave...am aware they aren't in the same class.

I like the way the two of you do the track day's and it was just curious on the match in local track conditions.

Way nice bicycle, for damn sure:-) - Ohlins and all!

Actually, I probably shouldn't even be saying this, but I just happen to know as a definitely probably maybe that this particular bike is nothing more than a cleverly disguised test mule for the Rotax powered Buell that I confidentially revealed a few months ago.

Can't fool ol' Gentleman Jon that easily:-)
Trade in my a$$!!
