Default Yay I own something fast again...

Got rid of the Harley and grabbed this little monster yesterday. It is a hoot, like driving a motorcycle with a fake speedometer, you think you are taking it easy and look downa nd go "oh shit" Still taking it easy to break it in, just finished yanking off all the stupid reflectors. Pretty sure this qualifies as the fastest bike I have ever owned. About a full second faster than the yamaha Vmax I had in pensacola...

Hey dude, I know we talked about the silver vs. red/black but I have to say, this looks gorgeous in person.

It is wicked comfy, and it has a ton of low end torque, I think it is gonnabe a keeper. Valves every 16k though.
