Sorry, my brain fart . Around here we call them CBRs, not Fireblades! I know what they are; I owned the first red, white and blue 1992 CBR 900 RR sold in Wyoming, and put 48,000 miles on it before I sold it. Even toured on it with soft luggage.

And welcome to the forum JBoe! My Boxster is a 2003 S also. As for the Ducati, I actually own 2 900 SSs, a 1998 FE (final edition) and the 1997 track bike. They are wonderfully simple and light bikes, with more than enough power for me. I actually owned an MV Agusta F4-1000s, and sold it because my 900 SS track bike, while making about 1/2 as much horsepower, was way more fun to ride on the track. And a 186 mph street bike is just begging for tickets, or to become a hood ornament on a beer truck!
