I didn't think anyone with a V-Storm needed a second bike..

You mean a bicycle?

Toyota Yaris Rally Car

The Toyota Yaris is already a cute, practical urban runabout. Now there is a R1A Rally variant for racing.

Toyota’s Motorsport division has its eye on a return to rally racing and they’re bringing a new ride for the occasion. This new model should come in just in time for the ninth round of the World Rally Championship at the ADAC Rallye Deutschland on August 24th to 26th, 2012.
The car will be the Toyota Yaris, the company’s lovable little hatchback that has been rechristened as the "Yaris R1A." In order to comply with FIA R1A regulations, Toyota gave the Yaris limited performance modifications that include a new racing exhaust, a catalytic converter system, shorter final drive gear, a new motorsport suspension with adapted springs and adjustable ride height, and cursory safety enhancements like the bolt-in roll cage, rally seats, safety harnesses, a power cut-off switch, fire extinguishers, and sump guards.

In addition, there is even a hybrid for those folks who prefer overly-complicated solutions to simple problems.
