Hello all.. Just wanted to say. .I just bought my first bike today.. I´m driving home looking in my rear view mirro.... watching....dreading....... buyers remorese as I watch the salesmen drive my new bike home while he follows me from behind. I´ve never ridden on a motorcycle before.. What the hell am I thinking?? Its sitting in the driveway, as I gawk at it for an hour..... OK, I´m going! I have to do this. kill.... vrooom.... kill.....vroom... kill........ finally! on the road.. once you get that first gear in place.. the way it needs to be.. its all smooth riding from there. I have never felt so free! I have nothing to compare this bike to. but I did my research. I´m going to take mosts word for it,, that this bike is definitely a must have for anyone looking in its class
