they totally tried to make it look like a 600rr… be careful on something so underpowered, especially in florida where NOBODY ever does 60mph… ---

might as well just get a 600. if you keep the revs low you get great gas mileage. ~50-60mph is acheivable. And if you ever _need_ to get on it the power is always there ---
