Yes indeed. There is a reason I still love mine to death 4 years later.

There is no replacement for the insane pull of an I4 when you get on them (unless you talking liter twin) but for streets, I can have fun under the speedlimit, which is nearly impossible with tall gearing and top end peak output of an I4.
