		I love the bike, my friend got one! Beautiful acceleration and tight turns.I love how well it handles on day time traffic..I'm from Pittsburgh.The only complains I have are that the brake isn't adjustable and that makes it kind of a stretch to reach.Also the handlebars are a little to straight for m<span class="simple_review_box" >...</span><span class="expand_review_box" style="display:none;">y riding position, they need a little more sweep. With these mods I'd take it croos-country.This said , I'm on the process of financing one.</span>

		A very powerful bike. Easy to negotiate on busy and crowded streets. Quite light for a &quot;monster&quot; :-) And on the open road...you can unleash its potential especially on the straights. The surest way to go to jail is to get heavy on the throttle with this bike on the hi-way!
