well there is 7yrs of technology advancement
and who really cares "how much" faster, at these levels the rider is more important then the bike.

The Rotax engine is bulletproof
But it's silly little quality control things... Leaking clutch slaves.........Faulty spot welds on the oil tank.........Swingarm that had a recall due to faulty welds...........Electrical connector that burns up..........brakes that need bleeding every 500-1000 miles..........shock that wears out too soon due to being so close to the exhaust header..........Anti-theft system that decides to prevent you from starting the bike.............Odometer that sometimes resets to 0 if you disconnect the battery...........These are all common faults on the early models......Try to get an 06+ But, the fit & finish is outstanding, the paint & bodywork is thick and high quality, the all-plastic tank is a great idea, the gauge panel is awesome, the motor sounds great, it tracks like its on rails.............That is the Italian way.....Appearance first, followed by sound and performance........nothing else is important to them Last edited by Homeslice; 09-10-2011 at 12:58 AM.. |
