Hey there, Harleyguy. We don't have a lot of American V-Twin owners on here but we got a butt load of guys with cbr 1000f's. I'm sure they'll be glad to answer any ?'s you have about your latest acquisition. Can't beat that price for what you got. Enjoy the forum, bro. Looking forward to the pics.

You're gonna get hooked on that power and speed, harleyman. I'm telling you.
Next thing you know you're gonna be chilling out with the cool sportbike crowd.... hot chicks hanging all over you.... pockets full of hundred dollar bills and chit.

My bike didnt come with anything but the hot chick. Even then i had her before the bike. I feel robbed .

Anyways welcome to the sportbike world my friend. I guess you finally decided to trade gas for noise into gas for power. lol
