Cool I remember you talking about them a while back, post up some pics and give us a review.

I'll give a review on the whole bike after I've got through the breakin period (a couple of days!).

Biggest initial impression - this is the BEST stock suspension I've encountered. I have no idea how the reviews complaining of a choppy ride came about, unless they couldn't be bothered to adjust the suspension at all. And you can get to the shock preload adjuster right under the seat!

interesting, the only personal perspective I got on that bike was from Lance Holst, since he was working with buell, I brushed off all his positive reviews as being a bit bias

Congratulations. Hope this works out better for you than your Ducati experience did.

Yes, please let us know how it is. I also was impressed by my test ride on that; it had been on my short list if I ever needed a new bike.

I went on Saturday to the local Honda dealership on Saturday where one of my buddys bought a new 08 1000RR for 7900

When did this stuff start? At the bike show in Philly a few weeks ago they were still showing full list for either of the 1125s
