re: lighter, stronger Daytona

	I love the look of the Daytona, especially in silver/platinum, but she
needs to lose more than 25 pounds. That'll still leave her at 411 pounds dry.
Compared to the competition - YZF-R1 @ 385 lbs dry, GSX-R1000 @ 375 lbs dry,
CBR929RR/FireBlade @ 379 lbs dry, for examples - she's still considerably
overweight. If I have to live with a cramped riding position, I want a light
machine that can be tossed around easily.
	A Trophy with shaft drive sounds nice, though. Now there's a bike with
low weight for it's size and purpose. I might have to have one of those. Just
my opinions, of course.

YMMV,
