Man you should have kept the Sporty and just added to the herd. Myself I love my RC on the road but the Sporty is real fun in town.

After a couple hundred miles I can say that the Low Rider handles GREAT! Not as QUUICK as the XL, but more stable and the lower Center of gravity helps pulling up to stop lights. I'll always miss the "rocket", but the smoooooth power and ride of the FX is nice.
