Aussie shipment August 04, & now has 38,000k's. I purchased this bike with STUNTS in mind, but used it daily for several years. As a standard bike, the torque is great on the twisty roads & makes for a good joke rounding up 160 horse Hyper-sport Jap bikes with a mere 96HP @ rear wheel. The motor starts off with a but of vibration, smoothing out to it's sweet spot @ 4 ½ on the taco, & keeps pulling hard to it's 6800 limiter. This bike Wheelies straight off the throttle in first with some provoking, or with a little help from the clutch to balance point, but you need to be careful not to flip it with the clutch-less shift to second, (due to the huge gap between 1st & 2nd, ) snatching third needs to be right on balance or it's all over. Being a V-twin, it is forgiving & comes down once the throttle is closed. This bike is really good for stoppies, but has a small problem. As the disc is located on the right fork leg, aggressive braking & stoppies cause it to pull severely to the right. As I brake, I steer the bike to the left to compensate the twisting effect. If you watch the bars, I nearly turn 5 Degrease to the left. MORE POWER 4 FREE: By simply removing the air box snorkel located inside the left frame/tank-cell, the power is increase is amazing, & it should now wheelie straight of the throttle in first or yanked up in second. There's more induction noise, & a pop & a fart on wide opening of the throttle, which can be felt as a puff of wind in the left knee. This is easily fixed by using the top part of the snorkel for a gasket. MORE POWER & MORE NOISE: Fitting a FACTORY BUELL RACE KIT is bolt on power & heaps more noise. The kit marked for race purpose only consists of a high flow air filter, CPU, & the snorkel is removed.
