i heard its not legal in CA

haven't checked here, i just pretty much ride the feeder roads and back streets.

i only get to ride it on my fri off, so just screwing around

Z said she saw 67
i saw 60, but the wind has a lot to do w/ top speed, lol

there are several big bore kits out there, so thats in the future.

installed last weekend
CRG arrows
intake
LED brakelight/turn signals like i linked earlier

ohlins should be here next week
racetech ft end soon after that, lol

heck Corbin already makes a saddle for the bike, it's nice to! but $300+

this is getting to be an expensive cheap bike!

watch out circus bear coming thru

Hmm may have to trade in my 200 for that little thing if they top out at the same speed!

the beauty is in the size, it's tiny and at 225lbs crazy light

heard yamaha is going to bring in a 125, but it'll have big wheels and weight 300lbs, 50% more basically.
