    @selbstzweck I did have a test ride on the softail streetbob when i was shopping for my bike. I found it to be pretty nippy round the city (and i'd wager our cities are if anything a little tighter than NYC), was planted, stable at low speed and had a good turn-in (probably better than the scout i ended up with) and certainly had decent legs out of the city - as its effectively the same bike as the softail standard that might work out a good sweet spot for you.

            @selbstzweck Sportster is fine for long trips, imo. Depends on your size really. Under 6' and no probs. I've done 2k mile/ 3 day moto-camp trips and love em for that.

                  @Shelby999 do I spot a set O.Z rims in the rear??

                    BST front and back: so flickable.

                        But, you are maybe referring to the (gold) 1098 stock rims...

                          @Shelby999 yes probably that. was looking at some recently for my SFV4S. the BST carbon wheels are nice. but I'm too afraid for using them on the road..

                            @louisbosco I've got 24000 km on this 999 with these BSTs, on the road...
                            but your bike! I've had the 1098sSF, and I had lotsa hp (with nowhere to hide at speed); I cannot imagine trying to cling on to yours.

                              BSTs would change your bike's handling in a very good way, though.

                                @Shelby999 its even worse on track, fighting with nature. but every lap puts a smile on my face. eventually I will get a small deflector but will probably do exhausts and dry clutch first..

                                I think if i do track more often I would, carbons look nice but the O.Z gold wheels look spectacular. especially with its WSBK roots.

                                  Yes, leading you to notice those gold bits behind my 999.
                                  Either way, you cannot lose.

                                    My bike was just posted on the Dice magazine blog from the Congregation show. Thought I still had an account on the forum, but I didn’t. So I made a new one to post up pics.
