This reminded me of sitting behind you and Rob at a red light. Both of you on Buells, me on a Bandit. I felt kinda out of place. Like I should have been jumping and vibrating right along with you

It handles extremely well. I haven't pushed it by any means, but from what I have experienced its not lacking in any way I can see.

The one thing that has taken some getting used to after the Firebolt is the lack of immediate downlow torque. But, it is giving up 200ccs and has twice many cylinders.

I can't get over how effortless and smooth it is. Ill let you all know more when I get the tach past 7000.

It's what can you expect from the re-tuned 'Blade motor. I've seen a ton of reviews that said the thing is ungodly quick for a naked bike. Too bad the insurance is out of the question for me currently. And that automatically takes it out of the running for me. For reference I pay $58 a month on the Monster through Progressive... they are quoting $390 a month!! A FUCKING MONTH!!!

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.
