Yep. Have been for a while now. Eliminating that cast iron or steel sleeve shaves weight.
I demoed an '08 I think. Super smooth engine but the trans is kinda clunky- typical zook. Top two gears feel like overdrive- around 2500 RPM at 65 in 6th. Seat doesn't slide you into the tank, but the bars are too high. Suspension and brakes are soft. The right mods (emulators, pads, bars) and it's a perfectly capable, comfortable bike.
