Troops...took the plunge today. Bought a 06 Blue Attack from my local dealer. The price was only about 1K more then the best US price I could find & I am across the street from him also. Funny pricing up here...Attack was $300 more then an ER & 100 less then a RTX with reverse. Anyway; I will be able to compare to my good riding bud who bought the 1000 Doo gade. He will smoke me in a drag but I will compare mpg & ride. By January I should have some good clutching combos to share. Not enuff snow to ride yet but temps are cold & ice is great! Only mods I am doing is Simmons skiis & clutching!!!!!!!
 

Turk after reading two concuring race reports it sounds like you might not get smoked after all..LOL

Glade you took the plung... LOL

Cogratulations! You will not be dissapointed. We will be waiting for some of your good clutching cominations. :flag:
 
What was your ride last season? Great choice with the attack. It was my second choice but I wanted to go the Ohlins route. If I bought the attack I'm not sure it would have fit in my 101x10 trailer. Congrats!

Where are you over the border?
 
As of last week I had a 98 MSRX, 01 SRX, 03 RX-1 with simmons turbo. I now just have the turbo rX-1 & the Attak. Sold the 2 smokes. I live about 60 miles north of the Manitoba/ND border.
 
Thats great news Mike! I can't wait to see what power you can squeak out of the new 3 hole weights. They appear to be fully loaded with 4.5 in each hole. Enjoy your new toy and PLEASE report your findings.
