This
bike is fast. If you have this bike and are thinking of upgrading
to an 1000cc bike for more speed think again. There are only
about 5 or 6 stock bikes faster. The downside is the size of
the bike. It's a little cramped. It's also a little buzzy at
speeds over 65mph. The bike can do 90mph+, it just gives the
impression it's working hard to do it.
As
far as looks, this is a love or hate it look. It's a chopper
style. I have the Teal color. I get lots of compliments on the
bike because of the color. I have seen it in red and black and
don't care for it.
Handling
is about average. Nothing spectacular but nothing horrible either.
There are lots of bumpy roads in NY. The bumps cause the bike
to bounce a little bit. This would result in the rear breaks
locking while airborne. I never lost control when it landed.
But I could hear the rear end when it landed.
Would
I recomend the bike? It depends on what you want. If you want
an inexpensive rocket but don't want to bend over a gas tank
then this is the bike for you. If you want a smooth ride and
don't care how fast you take off, look elsewhere.
