Beauty! Enjoy!
Congrats on the new whip and best wishes for your ankle to stop being a punk!
May I ask how much? What type of riding do you plan to do?
I paid 2500 to buy it off an acquaintance, and I plan to ride a lot of backroads and longer trips.
Wow! That's quite the deal? Will you be riding with them?
Of course. A bike this good demands good riding company. Gonna take some time to learn the feel of it before committing to any super twisty rides, though.
The brakes on these suck. Just be aware of that fact.
That's a very general statement. Considering each and every bike will have a different history, and different wear and tear. Then there is also the issue of the skill of the rider. That can make a huge difference too.
And with every new bike I ride I always test the brakes first. I practice emergency stops regularly.
To OP, Congrats om the nice bike. It's a great machine and I hope you will have a lot of fun with it.
