They are fast but it seems like the frame geometry and setup is a little behind for the power of the motor.

Unfortunatly that was a little too true for the early models, not sure about the later ones. But when theyfirst came out there was a couple ofdealers around with more love for money than their customers hides. Theywereselling them as fast as they could uncrate them to the youngest and least experienced riders. It resulted in exactly what you might expect,a lot of very badly hurt or even killed kids.

I saw this one last year at the Patriot ride for Sept 11 and one look at itnearly freaked me out. I'll bet even Yamaha wouldn't want to touch this beast.

If you look closely and can see past the neat skull headlight you might notice the two NOS bottles strapped to the side in front. What's not so clear is that there are two more bottles just under the seat in the back.I couldn't find the owner so I have no idea how fast it might be, but I have little doubt it would be the cause of heart attack number 5.
