welcome to the family (you can join,.. but never leave

j/k)
we too, like this bike a lot.
and like you said, it is so different from other bikes we've ridden.
easy handling with plenty of zip.
plus, it is a fine looking bike to boot!
many of us here are mod junkies.....>
I think it is so cool that owners from all over the world can share their experiences about these bikes with each other, to learn and share ideas, not to mention what to look out for pertaining to any problem issues others may have with their bike.
