I guess I should have my own post instead of just overhinting in every other one

Nice Jack-O-Lantern. Now bring it to Grattan in that Honda toy of yours some people call a truck.

Thanks for the good words y'all, I must say it's quite the machine and photos do not do its condition justice - this thing is showroom condition and the 'visual' mods. done to it were all very tasteful and probably what I would have done eventually as well.

As for a quick write up for anyone interested...I've only put about 150 miles on it so far (120 slab, 30 on so/so backroads) and I don't have the sag setup nor have I changed any damper settings other then moving the Hyperpro up to 3 a couple times - but damn . From what little seat time I do have, the chassis feels like a rock, no idea where they hid what little weight this thing does have...the suspension feels very appropriately sprung for me (I'd imagine slightly abrupt for a smaller rider) with damping that seems to work well with the overall package, which results in an easy to transition ride that isn't too busy. Way more comfy then any previously owned sportbike and better rider aeros to boot (the screen helps too) - but also feels so damn tiny its unreal. It reminds me of riding a 600 until I feed the injectors. The power of course - more then I need and will be able to use.
