749 BASE
By (I am an Owner) on Sep 17, 2008Amazing bike, if you want a all out barley leagel street machine this is it!! What sets it apart from the Jap street/race bikes is the fact that its bare bones, Jap race bikes do have things in the way of comfort and drivability. Duc superbikes...none. But this makes up for it on the twisty back ... roads. Such a stiff chassis and suspention, i loves corners and the faster you go the smoother it is, with so much feedback from the bike. But this has its down side. Bumpy roads are painfull. In town traffic is a nightmare with the dry clutch chatter and driveablity. Seat burns you on how days. But all of this if forgotten once you get on a nice drive on a back road. Power is good, nothing to be impressed with. you will get outrun by Jap 600's all day long, but unlike them you have power all over the rev range. V-twin sounds good too. Build qulity is second to none. Everything just seems so muhc more rugged and refined compared to jap bikes.
