Nice looking bike! I'm sure you'll have a riot on it
Haha! I have been silver, yellow, black, black, blue.
Dude, that is pretty awesome. I hope nothing pops up and spoils the deal. Enjoy!!!
Hope so! Damn, this makes bike #5 in five years.
Man, I heard of flipping houses, but bikes? LOL! Congrats bro!!! :wav:
Here are a few pics.
Needs new rear tire and chain pretty bad. (both on order already). Front tire is fine for a while. There is a little damage to the front cowl but nothing bad. It has been touched up but not very well. I may just end up plasti-dipping the front cowl black or something. Not sure. Bike runs beautiful and has awesome torque! I love the bags. They are mono lock or something like that. They just snap right on and off of the mounts very easy. They can hold a metric butt load of crap.
It has obviously been dropped a few times. Little scratches and gouges here and there but looks very low speed if hardly moving at all.
All in all for $2500 I am absolutely happy and could not stop smiling when I rode this thing. So fun. 11k redline and it likes to stay in the middle of the range. Tons of power/torque at ANY rpm! Thing is a beast.
Throttle Meiser or however you spell it is great. Just twist the bar end and it locks the throttle.
Givi touring screen keeps the wind off very nicely.
Sprockets look brand new, so just doing a chain for now.
Heated grips take a while to heat up but thats expected and how they all usually are.
12V power outlet will come in handy!
Holeshot exhaust sounds good. Nothing crazy loud, but a nice throaty growl. Sounds like a motorcycle should sound.
It is heavy. I definitely feel the extra weight. I need to master the center stand technique. Wrenching my back trying to get this thing up. Its a pig.
When moving, the weight disappears. Very smooth ride. Dips into corners awesome and damn is it comfy!
Brand new battery. Wired for battery tender and he gave me a brand new unused tender as well.
Could not be happier with this buy. May end up just keeping this bad boy for a long time.

Geez, you've got at least a grand in Givi luggage and racks alone. You could flip this bike for a profit in no time if you ever wanted to. I'd actually think of it as an investment. Congrats!
Nice bike J
I bett you could hide a little stainless steel ice fishing rod in your cases...:liar::Sport:
