It makes a great starter bike.

Salesman to my buddy who just started riding, when he was sitting on a busa in a showroom.

I could tell some doozys from the other side of the coin.

Customers are even dumber than salesmen.

But no salesman should lie and they should know their product inside and out.

You people actually pay attention to what sales people say?

When they approach me I always tell them I'm just looking and want to be left alone. If I'm there to buy, I already know what I want and I tell them what I want to pay. I dislike lies and games.
