Default AHDRA record holding mechanic on 07 and 08 bikes

BUY a 06 or older way ahead of the game, this gentleman is the plainest and most down home individual I've met. For his other endeavors he does work fo a man named Johnson we have all heard of so he is real thanks Ben

The cost, EPA choked motor, basically unused sixth gear which if used puts rpms below usable power band. His comment change the pulleys if you want lower rpms, non existant backing for warranty, I made comment about ABS being one of the reasons I wanted one to which he responded buy a BMW, he is a fan of what works. To tell the truth it was a difficult hour hearing him tell the TRUTH, also made point with all these houses being foreclosed on there are a lot of low milage bikes sitting in garages you can get cheap! This conversation basically shot my plans in the foot so instead of an 08 RG for 27k (maxed out) I'll be buying an 06 with as much bling as the firstowner bought for it! Wait a couple years and get my ABS a lot cheaper almost buy two bikes for that same 27k thanks for listening Ben

I like the new bike's except for the fbw (Fly by Wire Throttle) and that would prevent me from buying a new one, but the rest rest of the bike is cool IMHO

No matter how good anyone is at what they do, it always still comes down to one man's opinion. I'm very happy with my 08 Ultra thank you very much.
