This was my first Sport Bike. I purchased it in April '07 and put about 10K miles on it before Autumn. This was a cheap alternative to going without wheels during a recent life event. Frickin' thing is fast and fun! I would recommend that anyone who has not experienced an inline four to give one a spin. May not be your kind of bike, but it's guarenteed to make the hair on the back of your neck stand up when you twist the throttle.
