I've got an '06 that I bought in Long Island and rode home through Canada to Minneapolis, great ride, great bike. I have to agree with the last post on the suspension, it is too soft, especially in front, but it is really comfortable to ride for a sport bike. Only other complaints are no helmet locks, and that strange UFO noise from the airbox. Anybody know what that is and if anything can be done about it? I feel like George Jetson sometimes...
I too have the blue one, it is a really great looking bike, I've had numerous comments on it. Coming off my last bike ('Busa) and my current track bike (06 GSXR 1000) the power seems down, but the torque is really nice. Take offs from stoplights with a passenger is pretty smooth. Oh, one other complaint, the damm seat makes the passenger slide forward into the driver because of the angle. Why can't these guys just make a bike with a nice seat to begin with instead of making you go to Corbin to get something that really works?
