I need to be consoled.

wow thats a cool bike!!

Yeah sure was. It had excellent brakes and handled really well, you just couldn't use that handling because with so little ground clearance, the bike would scrape with hardly any lean angle. At 1600cc's it had really good power too. I had a neighbor with a modified Harley. We went for a ride one day and as we left he told everybody how he was going to put the paint on my Mean Streak. Now this was my first Mean Streak that was only 1500cc's and I was just breaking the bike in. We left a stop sign, and he took off on me. I hit my throttle, and blew past him in a heartbeat. Needless to say I razzed the crap out of him when we got back home.

This is a shot of what my second Mean Streak looked like

I really like this new 900 Custom, but not sure if I'd be satisfied with the power output from a 900cc bike.
