		I saw this bike about a week ago and I have not stopped thinking about it.  The smooth lines make this bike unique. As a woman I fear tipping bikes over while turning and yet feel confident that I would have no problem with this bike.<br /><br />
<br /><br />
Only thing keeping me from buying the Can-Am is the price.  I <span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">know this bike is new to the market but it should be a little more afordable, especially in today's market.</span>
