There is a reason my '16 scoot that I bought in May has over 18 k on it. I bought it to ride, not wax ! Ditto the '16 Z06 I bought in Aug. It has 15K on it now.

Enjoy your tuned 103". My stock 107" blows my old tuned 103" out of the water, even though my new bike is 100 lbs heavier than the old. Not even close... Nada, zero, zippo. The 107" packs a punch.
Oh well, I jumped in here with both feet. Because it IS a new design, I bought the extended warranty. If it blows up at 50K, I'm still covered. Something in my gut says it will be OK.

Ya' know... That's EXACTLY what I said when I found out Ford was going standard with the Ecoboost V6 in the F-150 back in 2011. I REFUSED to buy one, and held on to my old 5.4 V8. Five years later, they have had little problems and the platform took off. That's probably going to be my next truck.
