So I was planning on getting the IS500 next year but I may have to rethink that option since I just made a purchase this week (2007 Ducati ss800):

Ken, very nice 'toy'.
That will be fun for running around on sunny days. If you won't be riding it everyday you might want to hook up a small Battery Tender to keep the battery fully charged. I keep my bike on one year round since there are times months go by without me getting out for a ride. 3 1/2 years so far on my original battery with no problems. Weather was so nice this past weekend I got out for a nice 250 mile ride on my Yamaha FJR1300. As bike riders know there is a completely different feel on a bike than in a car. And with a sportbike passing slower traffic is as easy as twisting your right wrist.
My FJR matches my IS as far as color goes!

I like bikes but they still scare me due to the fact that the stupidity of others could end my life in the blink of an eye.![Embarrassment](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/redface.gif)

I 'rethought' the IS500 purchase the moment I heard it was probably going to cost as much as an LS460.
If the rumors are untrue, then great... but otherwise...

Fast cars, and fast bike are a match made in heaven. I have been looking at a few bikes myself. Honda CBR1000, and Suzuki GSX-R1000 are around my price range. As you can see i'm trying to stay conservative if i want that sweet GTR. As far as the IS500 costing $70,000 i will not be buying. For much less or better i can name a few... 09 GTR, 08 M3, 08 Z06, 06 Viper, Silghtly used 06 M5, and i didn't forget the new 08 supra with some change leftover for mods.
