And I actually squeezed both in with room for the car.

200 series rear. 1700 engine. 640lbs wet (ugh). About 105ft-lbs of torque to the wheel, though. Easily slower than the ZX11 on the top, but its no slouch, and holds the ZX off to 60mph easy, and the Cobra over 100mph (didn't try beyond that). Sorta "the sportbike rider's cruiser". R1 inverted forks. 4 pot binders. Fuel Injected. Best cornering clearance in the cruiser world. Great around town bike, and that's mostly what I'm gonna use it for, so I'm happy. It was down to between this, the honda VTX, and the Suzuki Marauder. Got the RSW.
Anyone on here own a VTX (either the 1300 or the 1800), a Marauder or, the Harley V-Rod? I'd kinda like to hear what I missed out on.
I can either bring this or the Cobra up to Quantum for the thing on the 5th (if I'm not in Cinci, see below)
Wease - if you're reading this, we should be heading down to Edgewater this weekend. I'll know by end of day Weds for sure. Send me a PM if you're still interested in going too. Going to clock my 04 time for the Cobra and the rest of the summer's going to go toward the new bike.
