Yes it does have ABS.


The list price is 5499. I need some "ammo" to get them down some. Any suggestions??
If it has silver wheels, those things would develop a horrible shimmy around 297 mph. It was only curable with the add on twin turbo kit so you spent minimal time under the 300mph mark. So, tell them you won't give them a dollar over $5k without the twin turbo kit installed. That's all true. I never make shit like this up...on tuesdays...sometimes...maybe... LOL!

So I finally did grow up. The saying is that you have to put your big boy pants on sometimes. Well I put 4 pairs of big boy pants to bring the bike home yesterday. It was 36 for some of the ride and all 4 layers were needed on the 2 hour ride home. The heated grips were amazing. Actually had to turn them down. Cruise was intuitive and worked great. Seat was amazing. Rick Mayer model fits me perfect, no ill affects after 2 hours home. Adjustable windshield was a novelty but was so adjustable depending on conditions. Comfort is all I can talk about now. Not wanting to get too aggressive with the power curve. So much different than the superhawk in how it delivers the power.

Really like the bike and can't wait to make a road trip up to see my brother in northern illinois. In the past only the first 90 min was fun. Now I know it will be an awesome ride the whole way up

Thanks for the forum and contributions.
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!
