Thanks.
Yeah, I love my ride. I was a little peed because my freshly painted cowl flew off my bike while riding. It's all scratched up with paint chipped off. I won't bother getting it painted again cause I don't want to spend more money. I got a good deal with the paint job because the guy painted my hugger and undertail with it.

 

Nice bike.. How is does it ride?

 

It's my first bike, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I can say that it's apowerful bike and acceleration feels good. I needed to get this bike because of it's upright seating style which will providecomfort commuting back and forthto work. I don't start feeling any discomfort until 2 hours of straight riding, which is fine with me since it takes me 1 1/2 hours to get to work. The only complaint for me is that at times my hands feel numb from all the vibration on the handle grip. I purchased heavy stainless steel bar ends to reduce the vibration, but it only helped a little. Probably will purchase better gloves, if that helps any.

 

thats good two hours im sure it will change if you hit windy roads where you have to move your body around turns.. I like that upright possition its 2 times better than putting all your weight on your wrist like on a cbr 600 im thinking of gettin one maybe the end of the year so i can save some money and sell my 500 which i love but i cant afford 2 bikes as of now.. anyway good luck with the gloves hope it works for you. You could also try to loosen up on the bike your probally nervouse cause its your first bike so your giving it your death grip. l8er

Yeah, I think I do grab on the handles tight. I'll try loosening up.

 

i just recently got the black version of this bike.. and i gotta say it's a dream to ride.
