Yup... This bike belts out such a beautiful sound & the power delivery is so smooth & mellow I can't believe it.
The guy I bought it from really had it set up well. I'm just hoping its dependable. It's a little crude on the street past ~55-60+mph, but it's worth it once I get to the trails/gravel. Has one of the most comfortable stand up positions I have ridden on for my towering 5'7" frame.
I have on order some anti-vibe handlebar inserts from FlexxCo. That's really the only bad part past 55mph. Up until that it really is a relaxing bike to ride on Tennessee back roads. Honestly last time I rode it I was thinking it might be more comfy than my Hypermotard 1100 Evo sp.
