   Well, I decided to go WAY OVER THE TOP on the "sport" side of the 
      sport-touring genre. So much so, that this is basically a race bike with 
      lights. This is the Ducati 996... This is the "SuperBike", and the basic 
      reason that we have World Superbike and AMA Superbike racing! When this 
      bike was build Ducati ruled supreme over both. This was bought as my 
      "track-day" bike.  When I went from the Concours to the ST2, I joked 
      that the ST2 felt like a 10-speed bicycle. Well this makes the ST2 feel 
      like a cruiser!
       
   Well, I decided 
      to go even more on the "sport" side of the sport-touring genre. This is 
      the Ducati ST2... It is made in Italy and known as the 
      "Ferrari of motorcycles". I have found it to actually be more comfortable 
      than the Connie was.
      
  
   Ever since Kawasaki started making the Concours in 86, I wanted 
      one. This was my '87. The Concours is basically a Ninja 1000 that has 
      shaft drive, a 7.5 gallon fuel tank, detachable luggage, and a larger 
      fairing. I added a Corbin saddle and a SpeedScreen. I recently sold it on 
      e-bay to a gentleman in Salt Lake City.
      
   The bike I learned to ride on. It was a Honda 
      350 (think it was a '71, but I'm not sure).
      
   I traded in my Honda station wagon for this 
      '76 Yamaha 650. It was by far the best way to get around Philadelphia, 
      except when it rained or snowed.
