FocusDave01 Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 dropped my bike off this morning to get the break in maintence off at middletown. aaron threw me the keys to this beast. ill tell you what this is a mad head turner..even cops double taked at it...had it parked at my work people stop to take pictures lol..i felt like a celebrity today...actually still have it casue of the rain didnt want to ride my bike back in this shit of weather...taking her back tomorrow tho...doesnt handle real well but its a good city cruiser and has a good exhaust tone to it. i thought they where automatic (saw one at bike night) but this one was a 5speed. had to get used to no break on the right hand..its only breaking control is right foot.. good times tho!!

OsuMj Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 wow, that thing is a beast... more like a snowmobile with wheels...sounds like fun though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightRider Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 Awesome. I've read a few articles on them. I heard they aren't all that fast, and like you said...not much of a handler. However, i think riding around on one could be pretty fun. Definitely wouldn't own one, but definitely could have some fun on that.
