Default New toy.
Another wannabe pirate brought this to me. $48K invested with 1800 miles. $26K cash took it.
Stage 4 with every bell and whistle money can buy. LMAO.

It will be gone within a week. Not my fav color but it's sweet and fast I got every original part that came stock with purchase. It's a 107 pushed to 114. Ward ported manifold the whole nine. Get's the front up with a little clutch play.

This is the 2nd bike I've bought from a new rider who had "summer fever" wanted a bike and then went full blown "Tax Mode" and then lost interest. Now he's going to buy a boat..... Like you said, more money than brains.

The cash went as "a down payment" on the boat he was buying. I can only imagine what kind of coin he was spending on the boat.
