OMG! can wait to read your first ride report. Wicked bike, congrats.

Does it come with wheelie bars? :banana:

 

[Cormanus]

If I bought one it would have to have training wheels!

Nice one wildezt. Enjoy

Is it the unicycle version? That's so frikin cool!

I was thinking it's the 'pre-crashed' version. Save you the bother of accelerating headlong into a wall yourself.

Thank you guys !..
as always pics has to come first.. I am not the greatest of the fotographers...managed to get some iphone snaps of the beauty and the beast side by side.:-

I just did around 30 miles on her ..and loving her so far..Man..its a lot different than the gen 1...ample torque.plenty power...decent brakes...the V Boost test has to wait till the break in is complete..
the slipper clutch does well ..so need to be delicate with the toes..shifts slick..the sound is thunderous..need to have plugs for longer rides.. The bike is extremely nimble for the weight..she flicks pretty easy...dodging pot holes and other such is quick and easy..and her weight kinda dampens out little ups and downs you don't feel them at all...still we need to be mindful of the machine unlike the CB which is a breeze and relaxing ride..
we needn't talk even about gas at all here.. she is extremely thirsty..sucks right through the tank to your wallet.
over in all Ferret pretty much summed it up in one sentence:-

"Beauty and The Beast."

How appropriate. Enjoy.

p.s.--now that Russia has said we'll need to send our astronauts to the ISS from "a trampoline," maybe you could offer NASA to ride them up there on your Vmax!!

 

[wildezt_imp]

ha ha ..Thanks Thumper.

 

[Cormanus]

Well, it does have descent brakes apparently.

Maybe if we have another Cold War we can have a new Space Race to go with it. Pretty dumb to retire all your Shuttles when your next manned launch vehicle is still in committee. Especially with a trillion dollar space station up in orbit.

Just deorbit the ISS as it eats the budget and limits science space missions. The shuttle fleet was doing the same thing. Expensive old vehicles to keep flying. Even great old motorcycles no longer become practical daily commuters and must become museum displays. The sad thing is each president creates the next NASA future plan and it gets scrapped by the next president. We need what the Russians have, the Toyota Corolla of space launch vehicles, mass produced, reliable, and affordable. Those terms are relative to space launch vehicles!
