I would do a little research on the BT021. Reports have shown probs with the BT021 front (The rear seems to be OK). Apparently the front wears in 'steps' between the different compounds and can cause some funky handling issues. Also, the front seems to wear before the rear.
I've never had to do this, but... If a mechanic provides a service on a vehicle and the owner either abondons the vehicle or refuses to pay, a mechanic can file a lein. After some time limit the mechanic can have a new title issued.
I've been pulled over while carrying. After I informed the officer I was carrying & and in a pocket...the first thing he asked me was if it was in a holster. A pocket is not a holster, wrapping it in a bandana is not a holster, etc.
$8k for a 650 twin with Ohlins isn't too bad. I'll bet it would be a handy tool for class racing & corner carving. But they do need to get an updated FI system. Edit: not really clear, but maybe it has FI. Fuel ManagementDual Mikuni 39mmIgnitionComputer-controlled digital with variable mapping
When I bought my 919 it had a brand new DQ on the rear. I've never had tire slip so much in my life. It consistently broke loose under 'moderate' braking. I even swapped out the rear shock to make sure it wasn't a suspension issue. I'll never ride a DQ again. I equate Dunlop tires to Fram filters. Available everywhere even though the performance is a step below most others.
