Information: I got this bike for my 18th birthday It''s a great bike as far as I can say, coz its my first, but not my last bike. I once fitted it with a 16-year old windscreen my dad kept for me, but I took ik off again after a week coz it didn''t look right. It''s great for cruising(duh its a cruiser), but it''s not really powerfull enough for the highway, especially when there''s a lot of wind. It only has 20 hp or 15.5 kW Maximum speed is 120km/h, ideal cruise speed 90-100km/h. It corners easily, in the corners you can keep up with the bigger bikes(problaby not the superbikes, but haven''t tried yet), but once you''re outside the corner, they''ll pull away at a frustratingly great speed which makes you wish you had the money to buy a bigger bike. Pulling away from stop lights is pretty good, coz its so light, about 140kg most lower middleclass cars can''t accelerate faster from 0 to 90 km/h, but above that the cars are a lot faster. Still, I''m pretty proud of it, I''m the only one at school with a motorcycle, and everybody loves to ride on the back.
