almost destructive amount of torque, not for the faint of heart. Stock has beautiful tone. Friends would know it was me romping to there house 20 miles away. LOUD. Sound unlike any whine of jap bikes, brits or american. Faster than sound. I´ve ridden all, from cbrs, gsxrs, r6,r1s,tL1000rs,bimotas,augusta,triumph, and the supreme handler of them all. Weight placement is superb and greatly outhandles all above bikes, 30/40/60/85mph slaloms.
