No shit. I don't recall you saying that at the old place. Same color scheme as mine? What about yellow wheels? I actually saw one same as mine (again, not as clean)...but I was impressed to see another one on the road.

Beast to push around the driveway for sure. It always felt so planted in corners. You couldn't shake that thing. Ask OTB...it handled really well.

Never got to ride it aggressively, just a bit around town. And in the parking lot to prove it would wheelie (owner didn't think it would/could w/o the clutch)

There are a few harley riders here at the college I work with. I'm the only sportbike rider. I don't ride mine because students here have no idea of boundaries and would sit on it.
