Really? I thought fuel ignition were easy to start on cold mornings I am such a newbie.
I could not hear the m50 running, you said it sounds pretty sweet?
how long is the break in period?
Your really helping me. Keep it up
I, myself, am not real "big" on really L-O-U-D pipes. It has a nice, low baritone note. What's really good is, when you're sitting in the parking lot and someone wants to "hear you start it up", you can start it up, rev it a few time, then let it idle back down and you can still talk at a normal level without having to holler over the sound of your freaking bike.
As you get on it, there's nice *wehhh-AHHHHH, *shift* wehhhh-AHHHH *shift*, wehhh-ahhhhhh, etc...* as you're going through the gears. A couple of friends of mine, who don't currently have bikes, but have ridden a lot in the past, love the sound.
A few people that have the bike, but aren't happy with the sound, have debaffled the exhaust to make it a bit louder.

Personally, I don't think you'll be disappointed at all. One thing, though...it's rather "loud" clanking from 2nd into 1st, but other than that, it's fine with me. Actually, that extra-loud *clank* sort of helps me know I'm in 1st.
The blacked-out engine and black rims are GREAT! I'd like to see some nice, chrome custom wheels on it, though...just to see what it'd look like.
With the fuel injection, I am able to start it and go on the really cold mornings, but I still give the engine, itself, a little time to get warmed up before I really "get on it". Don't know that you have to, but I try to baby my cars that way, too.
I've had it up to about 90 on the interstate with NO PROBLEM. What's sad is, it felt sturdier at 90 than it does at 45!
I think it's a good sized bike. It's big enough to "get you in trouble", big enough to not get knocked around too much from wind (I still get a bit of a bump when semis go by at 65-70 mph in the lane coming towards me), but not so big you feel like you've got your legs around a freighter trying to manuever around.
One, other, quick thing...the 2007's have a fuel gauge, I believe, so you're not just left with an "idiot light".
