2007 Model ; Electronic ignition works great, 100% reliable, Yoshi pipes sound fantastic, lots of usable power that wont scare you. Great price for such a good handling, fast, fun bike to ride.
Like the adverts say you haven't lived till wound one of these out of a corner on tight twisting mountain road...Magic.
Bad Points
Rear suspension can get a bit harsh, and the seat could be a bit easier on the backside.nothing you cant get used to though.
General Comments
A great bike, Superb sound with the right cans on, very reliable, economical if you take it easy, easy to ride, riser bars make the bike a bit easier on the wrists, just done 440km on tight twisty roads, without too much problem at all,just bit sore right wrist, but I think that arthritis. I'm in my 50's.
Make sure you have the tyre's pumped to the correct psi, or like most bikes the handling may seem a bit astray.
I feel quite at home waving to other bikes on high speed corners, the bike holds corners so predictably.
Plus suspension is fully adjustable front and rear.
It has crowd appeal, ie when I arrive with the "inline" boys the locals always come and check out the big V-twin. I'm proud of it too! Isnt that what its all about?
