Ok - not literally stole one. I bought one at an excellent price.
There have been a few nice examples in the SF bay area lately, from a '07 910R, '09 1078RR, '10 1090RR, and a new '12 1090RR heavily discounted. The '12 1090RR is in the red/silver color I love, and it's a decent price, but it's more than I wanted to spend.
The other bikes were overpriced by quite a bit, although I got the feeling that the 1078RR could eventually be purchased for a decent price (asking $10.5K at the moment).
Then a '11 1090RR comes up for sale. It's the charcoal/silver with red frame that is very striking. 1800 miles. One owner, and he needs the cash now. He'd been trying to sell it off and on for a year. I basically bought it close to KBB trade-in value.

Just took the passenger pegs off and I'm already sad that the rear end has lost some visual weight. I've said this before: I'm not a big fan of the bee stinger look on the tail, at least not for my bikes. Curious if anyone has installed something like the Carbonworld or Moto Corse rear...
Can anyone point me to a vendor that still produces a carbon fiber rear seat cowl that is a quality product ? I’m finding the typical MDI or Moto-composites but find them to either be hit or miss on quality and fit or I can’t get the TWILL gloss finish. I also like the wire mesh that I see in...
Yesterday I racked up 9 hours and 359 miles on my '04 750S around some of the best twisty roads south Texas has to offer aka the 3 twisted sisters. I was impressed, the bike just wanted more and more and I was only too willing to "give it the beans" as much as possible. :grin2:
Maybe I was...
