Good Points

This bike is the best I've ever ridden all my friends are scared of the thing it is just an animal it the power is there when you need it even in 5th gear it is just a lovely bike.


Bad Points

The thing is that I've blown the piston and can't find one anywhere. I have to get one made and that will cost a lot of money.

    You should try eBay for parts (I don't know what I would do without them!)

    I haven't ridden mine yet although I am dying to! I bought mine for five hundred dollars, she needs a clutch and a few other goodies but the bike is all there! Since I am a professional heavy truck mechanic and dabble with bikes in my spare time, I figured this was a steal of a deal! Can't wait, especially since my friends think I am crazy for having any interest in such a beast! By the way, does anybody know the horse power rating? I have heard 60 and some folks say 50 to 55! What is it really rated at?

    PS: I have been riding motorcycles for about 32 years now!

    I disagree with this review because...You can buy a stock or a Wiseco piston online right now!
