No, not an impulse buyer. Impressive specs YES, love the looks, but would wait to see what else comes out if I wanted another litre bike and than what the aftermarket supports besides a PC/Pipe and air filters, have to factor how hard it is too work on? the cost of OEM replacement parts too.

My biggest concern is that they have made it too easy to ride. I like my bikes RAW, wheelie prone, front tire dancing around under hard acceleration etc. Although I have to admit a slipper clutch is one of the best things that ever happened, the roads around here are crap for the most part and wheel hop can get nuts and really slow you down, not to mention tons of sheer cliffs to fall off of.
Anyway traction control sucks. What fun is it when you can't get it a bit sideways and leave a $10 worth of tire in a big black stripe coming out of a corner?

It looks good to me - the only issue I have is with the pipe - I'm not a fan of the styling of it but that can be addressed easily - other than that this power prob looks solvable - time will tell! I like the new bike better than the previous versions!

You can turn it off and slide or wheelie all you like.
