Just caved yesterday. Payed for my new black m109 but will not pick it up until next Saturday, weather permitting. This is a big jump for me being a mid-thirties sport bike rider. All of my riding buddies are buying Harleys. I just can't make myself pay that kind of money for the performance and styling (or lack of) that a Harley has (or doesn't have). Can't wait to actually ride my 109!
