and went and bought this

What do you think?
I did a lot of research before I got this bike and I am very pleased with my purchase. Its very easy to control and the power comes on really smooth, and when I am ready it has all the power I would want or need.....

Good luck.

Thanks its the 08 special edition, I was glad to see it still on the showroom floor when I went to get it, with a hefty discount as well BECAUSE it was an 08

Can always count on you to make some D!ck negative statement

hotbox05

it's one helluva a bike for first one to get after getting your license .


i call it how i see it . but thanks !

I agree it is , but I am 6'4" and about 270 the smaller sport bikes made me look like a grasshopper on a reed. and from the research I did the 08 model of this bike was very doable for a newbie.
specifically said in this article below. One of many I read about it.

no matter what theres always someone with a stupid comment.

as qeird as it sounds i will give the LARGE bikes this their power is actually a bit easier to control than the 600's or even most 1000's as they're very touchy .


the larger bikes have more grunt from below and a slightly more linear powerband cmpared to the turbolag/vtech/slingshot feeling that most 600's and 1000's have .


it is still a helluva a bike . and with that comes the bit more cumbersome act of parking lot maneuvers .

glad you got your cert . and by safety test i'm assuming you took an msf ? if so great!

they're awesome . I didn't take one (should have) but i have been riding for years and the rainy season coupled with my license expiring on my birthday i just took the skills test on a nice day last november.

actually ....


it is pretty large for a sportbike so i'd say huge is a fact

ugly well that's my opinion so i stand by it whether it's a popular one or not

and the sky high insurance rates also a fact .


only thing keeping them not WAY high is the value of the bike compared to say a 1098 duc which would cost more .


but remember guys this is a 180hpish (if i remember correctly) superbike that is capable of just about if not just over 200mph.
