First go with an I-talian...

I decided 4 bikes in the garage weren't enough. And I've owned ALMOST everything else in the 2 wheel world. So what the hell, you only live once...

You could still use "Just one more"

Nice bike, Tye
I've always loved Mille's, just not enough to spend on one.

Actually if now that I think about it, I never owned a mini-bike so that's next on the list. And this really wasn't that much. Didn't even have to sell my motard for it. I mean, ya it lacks some of the trick factory parts, but those can easily be found in good condition.

It's pretty awesome. It feels... "different". It's not the same old ninja/cbr/gsxr kinda bike. The motor is the biggest part. It's weird feeling like an overpowered cruiser motor dressed in sportbike plastics. It's got an awesome feel to it, the tank cups your legs so you can hang on with that, the power delivery is relatively smooth above 4k RPM(below it rattles) it handles great for it's claimed weight(heaviest in class) and I think it looks the tits. 04 with 13k mi and I don't even see a rock chip in paint. Either it's got a lasting fit and finish or the guy never "rode" it.

gotta be honest i keep wondering about dumping my blade for one, 04's have been getting very temptingly priced lately. of course my issue is alway going from lightest in class to heaviest

any mods done to that one? evo airbox? know which map its running? oh yeah, since its an 04' you checked that its the "fixed" swingarm right?

Just tigcraft slipon pipes and the stunter sized frame sliders to which I'll be removing because I've already hit my shin/knee's on them too many times. It's going to AF1 soon for -1 front, PC3, tune and all the airbox stuff to wake it up. The weight really isn't a big deal, I still think ALL sportbikes are too heavy, but I'm coming off 6 months of dirtbikes and a motard. The bike still handles well with it, and once I get it to the track I'll be able to make a REAL comparison to our GSXR750. But I don't think it will be a problem considering AF1 still races one aside their new RSV4. Can't suck that bad :P

And yes it has upgraded swingarm, replaced stator/clutch slave/rear brake master cylinders.
