Opinions-

Really fits me well, but I need to loosen the handle bars and shove them forward some, I'm too over the top of the front.

I hate the orange. : )

Its strong and feels great on the road, I mean, at 70 I feel like I'm doing 40. I'm used to rattletrap Harley bastard bikes.

Gotta be louder, and I rode all day with no helmet on, all I heard was wind. I did about 80 miles around Daytona Beach and New Smyrna.

Yes I took it on I-95, pushed it up to 100 just to see what it felt like, was fine. I think if I'd leaned into it, it would have gone straight 120. I was feeling like a sail on a windsurf board.

The shifter is too long- my foot is a 13, if I crank it back a couple inches, would be better for me- have to see if they make a shorter shaft, or I hit the machine shop.

My shifter peg is about an inch long, I have a hard time getting my foot to grab it, so I'm going to look into a normal HD one.

Thats it for now- really dig it for the most part and will probably buy another one. : )

It's an American thing, don't worry about it!

Yes, in FLA we don't have to wear them. I wore a bandana instead. Felt safe enough... : )
