Phew!!! This bike is the most fun bike I´ve ever owned. It has heaps of torque, and looks BRUTAL!! I get more attention riding this monster then any bike my friends have. If you get it as cheap as you stated, I highly recommend you get it. Remember one thing, though: It´s been said that this is the most evil piece of machinery you can sit your %!¤onto. I´ve been driving motorcycles for nine years now, and got the tl four weeks ago. It has taken me the same four weeks of constant riding to learn how to fully handle this baby. So if you´re a newbie: Beware, and take it easy.
