Well, still smiling, love that engine..... have been doing the brake in Motorman style. That Yamaha has exactly what In was looking for, just a fantastic bike. I got a Triumph Rocket 3 and a Boss Hoss 502 which are 2 great bikes that really blow me away but the lightness and flexibility after the other bikes is really hitting the beat ...... I traded a Ducati multi 1100 s in for the Yam and I must say I had some reservations but they were not needed......
