Heard today on the Planetary radio podcast that, although some scientists may think its too early because of the resolution of the bright spots so far, they may in fact may be plumes putting it on a pretty short list of bodies in our solar system with plumes (Earth, Tritan, Io, and Enceladus). They mentioned it was because the bright spots are still visible after the craters rim should be blocking the spots if they were at the bottom of the crater. Thought this was a pretty awesome discovery/announcement for a really cool project, Dawn, that tends to get overlooked since its not Mars.

thoughts on that review?

I was really leaning towards the Street Triple R because I was comparing it to the FZ-09; mostly because the MV wasn't even on my radar.

I'm used to a 2003 CBR600rr that I'm converting to a track bike and want something that I can ride to work/weekends when its sunny. Any other suggestions? THoughts?

Edit: might as well throw in the 848 street fighter in there too, its pretty bad ass.
