Since you are from Colorado I can see where you want to wait for warmer weather before riding! Must be murder seeing it just sit there!

so long as the sun is up its quite warm here so the terrorist on i25.
good weather till tuesday this week, after that put the bike living room and:
-up off goes the blouse for sharkskinz
-clipons, rear set, 520 chain stuff, Ohlins Rear Shock, Arkrapovic Exhaust, Power Commander + Quick Shift

around this time of year the local race peeps are selling off their junk and i am buying it up.

still looking for some:
steel Brake Lines, sliders, case covers.

i kinda like the looks of the stock plastic to, those pics quite science fiction looking?

friday night i disassembled the bike in preparation for the race stuff.

observation:
there is a huge parts count to support the good looks. this bike in its street forum if fierce. this construction must push the cost of ownership way hi for the average rider.

Very nice bike. I purchased a Honda a couple years back, the great thing about having a bike in a cold weather state is you anticipate riding so much and when you finally can you want to take a car anywhere. dont
