Probably what astounded me the most about this bike was how much better it was over the original. The weight loss was marginal, but the power was much improved and cleaner. But it handled a whole lot better than the mushy original suspension. Topping it off is the pipes. Its really hard to compare, but this is one of the best sounding twins i’ve heard.
