It's very tempting, but I'll just admit it- I'm worried about breaking my body at the track.

Well, the day of reckoning finally came. I sold the car, and kept the motorcycle.

I really like the MT07 in every way, except how it looks. I think it's the ugliest of the middleweight nakeds, but the best to ride. I'm pretty tempted to buy it anyways, but I can't help but wonder...
