nice man good score. im torn between an rc for my next bike or an i4 1000 not sure yet. i love the power of the i4 but i love the torque of the twin, but i also love the way the i4 sounds when shes opened up, lol.

Thanks...Just had it delivered this morning...there was a bunch of 'Go fast, High Horse Power stickers' on it. I removed it immediately. Brought it from the original owner but it has not been well taken care off. I going to give it once over tonight. Figuring another winter project of refinishing....All good though.

Thanks Doug...Yeah I won't be doing anything stupid on it just yet as the tires are shot...Will order a set this week. I am leaning towards Pilot Powers...Never tried them before...hope it is good.

So have you ridden it yet? We need a back to back comparo. I feel like it is that bike you lust after but that it just wouldnt be that satisfying since you ride the VTR. I wanna know if I am wrong. Of course I think most vtr riders think of this as your wife's stripper sister, but could you live with it? is the ride better? Inquiring minds want to know

Finally got her cleaned up, new fluids, new seals and new shoes. Took her out this morning..15C. My initial reaction is Wow!!!. Totally different machine. The only way to describe it is Hawk X2. It feels lighter, way more planted and smoother. Shifting is less clunky. It has a different sound. Not sure if this is a daily machine as I have not been stuck in traffic on a hot day. But the riding position is more aggressive. But that's the price you pay for playing with the "wife's stripper sister".
