Go lay down

It made it home fine. I am a bit hurtin right now after 20 miles and some NYC traffic i am a bit beat. I am liking what I have seen so far. Power delivery seems very smooth, not much engine breaking with the slipper clutch so I have to get used to that. Suspension is much stiffer than the priller, I may tighten up the front though since the front end realy semed to nosedive with kinda hard breaking.

Not sure what to make of the brakes yet but figure they may need to bed in a bit more to give better feel but def have good stopping power, and unlike what marko said about the other buells shifting is very smooth and effortless.

Now to get it broken in so I can beat on it a little and get a better impression of it.
