Lucky you, I got three sisters, and none of them ride. [laugh]
Sweet ride! If I was rich enough to have a stable full of bikes one of them would go in it.
My bro has a '76 YZ125C. Wish he'd offer me a ride. [roll]
this brother lives with me so its a given that anything brought is shared, to a degree atleast.
playing around on it before and it has the most mechanical noise of any bike ive every heard! more then mums harley, dads big bore stroked harley, my xs650 or monster or any of the dirt bikes!! its so damn loud for a stock standard bike! and the exhaust noise at idle with stock pipe.... its probably louder then my monster with dp race cans!
Sounds like and looks like fun!
Once you've hit launch control, had your wheelie corrected you can hit the abs into the first corner while still on the power because the traction control is t akin care of that.
Then you can just ride like [evil]
well I'm jealous.
I think they sound brilliant. Any chance of posting up some sound files or GoPro footage?
Nice!
ill try and get a vid. but better still ill see we can get both bikes out to a ozmo outing some time soon..
turns out it dusent have abs. the timing plates on the rotors are solely for the traction control. and i discovered while riding it the other day that it also has a quick shifter from the factory!! very cool...
