Love the look and love the color but those bikes are huge. They need to shed 100lbs.

I guess on paper the 480 or so pounds dry does seem like a lot, that was my thought going in too, but once this bike starts moving.. it feels nimble as hell. Plus, for me, this bike is strictly for the street, so any difference in corner speed between this and a 600 is negligible.

I plan on using the 600 as a track whore.. gonna take off the reg and ins.. that should pay for a trackday or two by itself.
