what did you get?
I like it for around town and slower speed stuff. I'm not into the true super moto dirt/street stuff but have taken it out in a few parking lots and housing developments where they haven't built houses yet. I'm still doing the break in but have popped a couple wheelies and its super easy and smooth compared to my 6r. In the wet I haven't been on a better bike. Around town its awesome and I had someone make a left in front of me and had to to an emergency stop. I got on both brakes hard and gave a little too much rear but it slid contrallably until it lifted and I stopped. It was kinda hard to justify overall but the payment(which I don't care much about) and the insurance is stupid low. I quit smoking so I used that $130-140 a month for the bike and insurance. I'll have it paid off in a couple years and will probably pick up a aprilia tard if they actually come to the US as to me that is the perfect bike......60-70hp...v-twin......light weight....real suspension
