Like I was saying yesterday, it's nice to be able to leave the bike idling on the side stand without having to chase it across a parking lot.

Looks good. A lot of "new" bikes being bought these days. Hope everyone is getting to enjoy them.

I think I learned more about this bike by chasing it through some twisty roads this past Sunday than by riding one on a shitty demo ride last Summer.

After that, I must say that I like it even more

Looks awesome! How's the wind blast? Screen height looks about the same as mine.

It works really well until about 85 or 90. I did about an hour at that speed on the highway and it really wore me out.

Yeah, better than mine then. Mine starts getting hectic at about 75. I've been eyeing a 4 inch higher fly screen since I do so much highway. I know it defeats the purpose of a naked bike and blah blah blah. But it mounts to the stock fairing, so it doesn't look out of place...
