Love the sound 8) I hope mine sounds something like that. I will know tomorrow.

Looks like it has really good acceleration and performance.

How is it handling ? (esp . in a corner)

Where is the starter button located ?

Where's your leathers and boots :eek:

I need to rebuild the front shocks, one side is completely out. Starter button is a push button located under the seat. Nice and hidden. Um leathers and boots? Im hoping for a jacket for Christmas, im not so sure about boots.
 
Ask Santa for boots as well. ;D

I had a lowside /low speed OFF while wearing decent riding gear minus boots (stupid loafers in fact) . The only injury and pain was my in ankle where the bike met the road on top of it) OUCH :'(
 
That thing is bad ass!!! As for boots, I rode in them once it couldn't stand it. I long for the summer again riding in a tshirt and open helmet. Bike sounds and looks great....
 
Shooter's right bro..that and the first time you drag a toe while diving a turn will make you want some boots. Id hate to see a fellow tonuper lose a toe or worse...you can find some nice boots with breathable neoprene uppers..just my advice.

I agree ... its a great feeling...minimal gear on a hot summer day ....but the unfortunate reality is .... "dress for the crash - not the ride"

Stay safe guys.


BTW : I have boots and gear for most conditions but I still get too hot as opposed to , too cold. Always a difficult one to deal with so I think safety first despite occassional discomfort.
 
Looks good & sounds f'n sweet.

And get full 'street' gear... jacket's are great, but hands/forearms/ankles/knees often get shaved off by the asphalt.

I have a forearm that looks like ET's wrinkley ass from the one time I decided to go for a quick spin after tuning with only helmet+hoodie+gloves+sneakers.

Just looking out for ya :) Poor now is better than ugly/dead later, cheers.
 
Ok, Ok....Santa, if your watching over this....I need some boots that aren't too stiff or high up the leg, and a new chain.....oh, and some alternator brushes would be cool too
 
VERY COOL... but I do have to say, in the first video, it looked like you pinched your ass and the bike started!!..
LOL!!!...I was thinking to myself... how the FUCK did he do that??!!..AND!... how do I make my bike start by grabbing my ass???!!... ;D

Would it work if somebody else grabbed your ass too? Not saying that I would (I know this is what you're thinking) but just in the name of science. Or is it like them fancy transponder keys?
