899!! Love them. Take a look at an MV F3 800 and a Triumph Daytona 675 R though too, I would have gotten one of those three if I could have afforded the extra insurance.

What if the corvette changes to R8. Pushing for the v8, it might just be the last gated manual ever. Bikes and whatever can wait.

I drive cars now feel good factor, performance is no longer relevant when teslas and 15k bikes can dust 150k cars hence will not consider z06. The most track capable vette...who really wants to track a 1600kg car?

Is the Corvette really that heavy? That can't be right? |

I'm not a motorcycle person, or rather I think it's too hostile to ride where I live. I'd get the Vette (with a manual gearbox and the performance pack, of course).
