How do you ride up-side-down?

Sharp looking bike! I like the black oil tank as well.
Must be why sometimes it's hard to keep the rubber side down.

Sweet bike Reino, what was your oil problem with the 05, how much was it using?

Thanks Rick.
I think it was the valve guide seals and I used about a quart between oil changes (4000km), it was never pulled apart so I cannot be 100% sure. I took it back to the dealer while it was still under warranty and wasn't using as much then but was told it was nothing to worry about. Sucked when my previous 10 year old EVO didn't use a drop. Here's a link to what I think was the problem.

I like the wire wheel in the rear also. Never seen a 200 on a wire before. Very nice.

Gotta love a standard, just an empty slate to do whatever you want.
