Yes it's fast. Yes it handles like its on rails. The gas cap sucks. Oh, did I say it was fast?......Its gonna take some time to get used.

High Beam not working either. Must I take apart the Dash to get at it? Probably. Break light seems anemic to me. Will have to investigate further. Hey, takes me 20 minutes to catch my breath after a ride. And did I say it was fast?
