This is a great bike to have in the Bay Area. It's narrow, quick, light, and nimble, which makes getting through traffic and finding parking a breeze. It has plenty of power for the freeway (I commuted from SF to Sunnyvale on it for a while) and is a blast to ride. It needs a new chain and oil change, and it has been dropped a couple times, so there are a few scrapes, and a piece of faring missing. But if you're learning to ride or parking on the street, it's good to have those first scrapes out of the way anyhow. The engine runs strong, and I just trickle-charged the battery to full. Come check out this fun, rider-friendly sportbike!
