I bet the folks over on Sport-touring.net can tell you LOTS of info about that bike. Maybe even some things to look for as far as add ons, etc.

(I'm not usually inclined to send folks to other forums, except when they truly are a good source).

MY friend jim used one as a commuter and also went cross country a few times. I took it for a test ride through WV and it's a fun little scoot. Definitely not based on a race replica thought. It had power and was smooth but not a nicer powerband, nothing too abrupt and an entirely different riding position.

Lion_Lady, I actually honored. I'm not always this wierd but you're one of the smartest people here and I appreciate you taking time out for me.
:clapping:

I was just on Sport Touring Net and they appear to be really knowledgeable. I was thinking of making a deal with the bike but now I think I may keep it.

Yes, ma'am. :D

You and LL are trying to make my life difficult aren't you... :D

I had read some not so nice things said about it and I was just going to write it off. But I just got a Email from someone that said what you said only longer so now I have to rethink everything. Darn, a wealth of choices, who would have thunk!

Well, if they think they could pry my ST out o... Yea, they did that... shucks...
