Hey guys/gals, the great news is that I got the bike today!!!! Took all friggin' day to finalize all the paperwork, but I guess that's how they treat ya when ya work there! AND....although the bike has been in inventory since June last year, AND the exhaust AND the pc-v had been there since 1000 hrs, they didn't start on the bike until 1645 so they DIDN'T get the exhaust and pc installed, arggggh!! Oh well.
I absofrigginlutely LOVE this bike! Wow! What a difference riding compared to the slug I was on! I haven't gotten into handling yet, working the oils out of the tires and scuffin' 'em in. It feels SO light and nimble and of course powerful compared to the Honda, but they are totally different type bikes, so that's to be expected. What wasn't expected, is how much I would love the riding position and the feel of this thing. Amazing. I can't believe I wasted the last 6 months of my life on a ST1300, lol! But, it was the right bike at the right time for me, and NOW, I'm definitely on the right bike for me at THIS TIME!!!
I have some pics, but too lazy to upload right now, and since they didn't install the pipes yet, it's just boring stock, so I'll wait until I can get some with the exhaust on it and share with you all then.
Plate will most likely be relocated to the left side of the wheel, so I'll be looking for the right mount for that. I'll figure it all out soon enough.
Oh, and as to color choice, as I stated before I have my reasons for it. That said, isn't it called "WHITE lightning", NOT black lightning? Hmmmm. What's faster than light? More powerful than a bolt of lightning? Hmmmm.
Thanks all, I'm excited to be here, but more excited to be riding this machine. Now, to name her......
