I bought one 3.5 years ago. Wicked fast! Tips...Learn the response well and do not ride tired. My first real day riding on this bike, about 6 hours in, an untimely flick of the wrist launched me 20 feet past the down side of a table top into the flat on the moto track. I rode it out, did not fall, but success in hanging on cost me an anterior dislocation of my shoulder. Cartalage, tendons, ligiments, bone chips, you name it, I fouled it up. All healed now. But this bike will go from what ever speed you are going to too fast, as fast, as you could ever want, and you shouldn´t live life without that kind of fun. I am taking up to my tree farm for a long Easter weekend. It is more 6 months since you posted this message, I hope you went back and bought it.
