That looks like a sweet bike!
I really like the fairing and headlight, it's so old school.

Naked is more fun.
Sweet Pete! Glad it made it there ok and thats awsome about the shipping...
No, no such luck. The whole bike rolled out of the truck and on the the Tommy Lift in that packaging device. Very cool.
The "official" numbers are 146hp about 80 torque. On DynoJet dynos guys are getting 126 stock, and 133 with only a tune. The factory super bikes are making 168hp AT THE WHEEL!
The motor is like a strong V8. I was breaking in the motor today. I'd put the bike in third, give it 1/2 throttle up to 7,500 rpm, compression break back down in third, X3. Then 3/4 throttle X3, full throttle X3. So its pretty much broken in. At 5,000 full throttle in 2nd it's like getting punched in the chest and the front is very light. Torque is every where, just twist. Its amazing. I rode a Duc 900ss many years ago and it had a similar feeling.
The sound is amazing. I'll see if I can make a good recording of if. It's deep, clatters, there is a feel to each ignition stroke. And the intake honk is LOUD! I mean LOUD! The throttle bodies are 61mm and just honk.
Do I sound like a hyped little kid? Good because I feel like one! :cheer:

Congratulations on the new purchase. I hope the engine heat doesn't become an issue during the Texas summers.
