are you going to buy the bike? doesnt really sound like it, no it will not break me to buy it, but i have no need for it, i have rode this bike for 2 years and never had any troubles, if you dont ride like a asshole everywhere you go then you wont have a need to come to a sudden stop. i understand people will cut you off and stuff like that, and no, this bike is everything EXCEPT a garage queen, its a bad ass bike and i ride it daily, i dont buy or build bikes to be sit in a garage and just look pretty....
