I am not a expert but the Renegade is a real good looking bike. It look like the big bike, but great on gas with more power than you would think. I had a kawasaki kz 1000, I hurt my knee, so I can´t push all that weight. so I sold it and now I have a 2006 Renegade and really love it. you have to remember it´s about you and what you like and work for you. by the way the bike is faster than you think. Thanks, Rick
