At first glance it may not be the best looking ride but it sure as hell grows on you really quick, turbo kit is available too putting it to about 300hp & 200lbs/ft. torque, wasn't a bike up there today that said they could run with it...

^^^^gotta have a CD player :D (right side of last pic)

i ran down the boring half of 180 with it then they all stopped at the lake and I kept going...made a loop and passed him on 180 but never got to meet up again, i really wanted to attempt to get some chase video.

It seems like it'd handle really well, but I wonder what it feels like at the limit with that one tire out back...

yeah, that dude is pretty cool, and hell no there isnt a bike that can handle with it, it's got the best of both worlds, a protective cage, lightweight chasis, he can blister thru any corner without worrying about dragging his knee....so really it's not about trying to hang with him, just keeping up.

there's a guy with a red one with chrome 19's, and his ass is crazy.....he would easily destroy the yellow one....the guy drives like a maniac, but it's still fun to watch.

Sony F717, just a regular point and shoot...one day I'll get a real camera.

oh yeah, it definitely gets peoples attention....from gas station attendants to harley owners to bicyclists, they were all in pretty much in awe. It was amazing to listen and watch the die hard harley riders talk about it [black leather, chaps, & all], you could tell they were truelly impressed....I see no reason why you couldn't put a big ass v-twin on one either.

I'm expecting to see him at The Vortex soon, just been a little chilly on it without a windshield and the heat from the engine behind you.

....I see no reason why you couldn't put a big ass v-twin on one either.I've been researching them a little...the 2005 model doesn't have a top, just hoops behind the seats, and has a 130ci S&S V-Twin putting it 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds...I'd still take one with a turbo hayabusa. If only it had removeable doors I'd sell my car for one...especially considering what the gas prices are and what it will be when summer rolls around.
