Default Today I learned.....

....if you don't like people staring at you then you definitely do not want to buy an M109, lol. It's unfortunate that I'm not a better looking guy, because I could probably parlay some of these stares (from females) into something more...... J/K wifey.....seriously though, people really stare at this bike....or maybe it's the gut that is lopped up onto the tank, hahahaha....

Yeah, he's wanting to try out my R1 so needless to say between the two of us there is more than enough horse power to go around

But in reality it's not really that big...it looks big and heavy...at just about 700 pounds dry it really feels light and balanced as well...

I find the fact that large bikes are better balanced than small bikes counter-intuitive, but then again I slept through my Physics class. My friend's Harley Low Rider practically stands straight up...my C50 is a dif story. Still love my C50.

Nice ride btw--I like the sleek debadged look!

yeah saw the M109 there....

ive sat on a few of them and as big as they are, the controls would need to go forward for me. the design is very similar to a Hammer (and Pete 2nd'ed my opinion by stating the same thing this weekend).

just do me one favor Chadrob.....take the rear seat off and put the little cover on it!!!!! hahaha. it really does look better with the cover and no netting


so...do you have a definite answer as to whether it is dual or single crank pin??

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with a bungee net on the back
