Return of the R6G8R?

I have been thinking about getting a new bike for the last couple of weeks. Over the winter break, I probably spent at least half my day trolling sites like eBay and CraigsList for an R6. I thought about other makes, but the Yamaha was my first, and I still think the other bikes don't hold a candle to it's raw power and nimbleness.

I'll continue to search the Web and classifieds for my bike of choice:

• 2008 Yamaha R6
• Color: Liquid Silver
• Mileage: 6,000 miles or less
• Mods: acceptable

The Rocket Has Left the Building

My bike was stolen this past Sunday. Two other bikes from my building along with a van from across the street were snatched too. So fricken frustrating. Especially since the riding season is upon me ... the questions I have now:

1) Once I get my check from my insurer, do I buy a new motorcycle?
2) Should I get the same bike, or try something different, like a Ducati Supersport?
3) Am I just asking to have my bike stolen again?

I had LoJack installed and an alarm ... those were obviously all wastes ...

hmm ...
