Sat on one in a dealership. Didnt like the look of it very much, didnt like how it felt.

But i've never seen one out in the wild, anywhere. Which, as was said above, is probably why its discontinued.

The only ones I've seen were sitting in the show room with the awful stock exhaust cans. YUK !!

Well come to think of it...almost all stock exhaust looks terrible these days.

Yep, that's about right.

If you are about 5'5" and 300lbs then the bike is perfect for you.

See two posts above.

The only way I could actually get my leg under the air scoop thingy on the side was to have my foot WAY back on the rearsets, my toes were barely on the peg. I couldn't move my foot forward to shift without taking my foot off the peg and readjusting my leg. Maybe too small isn't the right term, maybe it's just too cramped.

Other than that I was impressed with the bike, it was a fun hooligan to ride.

A buddy of ours that is probably 5'9" and 400lbs sat on one and it's his favorite bike. Of course he needs that over my old SecaII

Yeah, it's a hell of a step up from a Seca II! I like the idea of the bike, a hooligan naked busa, and it's certainly fun to ride. But the execution of the concept is a little flawed IMO. The weird thing is when you're actually on the bike it's nowhere near as "big". Your chinbar blocks almost everything from the dash back so it looks slimmer, and it certainly doesn't ride like it's that fat.
