Well, she's purty, that's for sure, but so was the other one. I sat on all of the big-bore super sports at the bike show. I did find out one thing, I'm not as young as I used to be. But I suspect all it takes is one ride...you instantly feel 20 years younger, and all else is forgotten. :-D

Did you pick the green versus black, or was black not available?

Green was the only color they had but I will never buy a black bike again.

First impression..... Holy turn-in batman this is wonderful. I took it on a tame ride home on 917 and it was orgasmic. I should've done this a long time ago. The power this thing puts out is AWESOME!!!! The strange thing is sitting on top of the motorcycle. That will take some getting used to.

Yea the power is nuts, once you get used to it then go backwards it's even worse. I jumped on the 750 and I was like damn this thing is gutless.

Don't forget the tow cable (it's part # 00001 in the catalog), or be sure you have miles' phone # stored. :SideSplittingLaughter:

Seriously, I love it, congrats again. Not too many things more exciting that a new bike. I'm feeling a faint yet strangely familiar "itch". :D
