Try One before you dismiss one.

I have owned mine for 1 year, and it was bought to slow me down after losing my licence on a Fazer FZ1.
I wanted it as its air cooled, easy to maintain,has a shaft drive,R1 brakes and good fuel consumptiom.
I have joined a "forum" and they have been a great help in modifying the bike and making it so much more fun.

I have removed the "carb restricters", changed to a K&N filter, put thicker oil in the forks, and Removed the AIS unit and got a pair of Carbon cans on and had it dyno,d the difference is amazing and the bike handles superbly.
I have had the pegs down and the bike has had the tyres right off to the edges,
I have often taken people on sportsbikes on the outside of roundabouts.

I love the grunt and pick up out of corners and i still know that i wont be able to go over 120mph so dont try.This has saved my license.A great bike that always gets attention and 55mpg and 100% reliable so far.and a better sound that any other bike with the carbon cans. Go to any harley garage and see the attention they get. A very underated bike.
