This bike doesn't get ridden the way it deserves. I bought it brand new in March 2008 and had it custom painted right after buying it. The paint is called "ruby slippers" and is a 3 stage PPG paint that changes colors when the sun is behind it. Scorpion aftermarket racing exhaust. Frame sliders and spools were installed before I even rode it away from the dealer. Never wrecked or in the shop. Never tracked. The only scratches on it are from me dropping it going 2 mph like a dummy during a motorcycle safety course going around some cones. Small scratch on the right mirror, right frame slider, and right tail. Not noticeable from 20' away. Send message with questions and I'll get back to you within 24 hours.
This model has sporty looks, gets about 80 MPG when used as a commuter, yet can handle the freeway with ease. I bought it new and kept it serviced by the dealer, and decided to use mid-grade/ethanol-free fuel to improve performance and engine life. (You are free to use Regular.) Shifts smoothly and brakes convincingly in a manner suited for a beginner, yet has enough power for a more experienced operator. The motorcycle is light enough for a smaller person to handle with confidence. A rear saddle bag can be used that fits quickly and securely. Also available is a nifty maintenance stand for routine owner care.
