Excellent Do-Everything Standard

Power: Oh yes....it's there! Engine: It's very flexible with good down-ow torque, very linear vs. pull-your-arms-out-of-the-sockets power. Not buzzy IMO, however VERY cold-blooded. Handling: Keep in mind this is not a sport-bike but a sporty standard; that said it's very predictable and stable. Go R-6 chasing as required. Ergonomics: Controls fall readily to hand and the seating position/foot-to-peg relationship is sane enough to make 1.5/2hr sorties reasonable. Comfort: See above. Down-sides: Mirrors provide a great view of the elbows; mirrors vibrate too much in the upper rpm. range; seat could be better (nitpicky). Would I buy another one? IN A HEARTBEAT!!!!

Upgrades/Accessories:  Dale Walker Holeshot exhaust, Stage 1 carb kit, Dunlop D616 tires, braided steel brake cables, National Windshield F-16 Touring screen, Streetfighter handlebars, gel grips, Roadgear sofbags, Cortek softbags, FieldSheer Eifel Tankbag, Fieldsheer tailbag and Chase-Haerper tailbag.
