Very nice bike. Nice fat rear tire. Quiet exhaust needs to put Vand H slip ons.

I hope so. He let me sit on it and rev the engine.

Pretty much unchanged for 14 yrs. I'd like one with mid-controls.

I agree Mid controls. You have to lean so far forward and your feet are forward like a u shape. Could be uncomfortable on a long ride?
