I think that is why he bought it...it was dirt cheap compared to the Husky he wanted.

I've never rode one...but I'd like to. They look kick ass and appear to be fun as hell to ride.

Would I buy one? No. Not while it still have the shaft drive. That flat twin in that state of tune may be down a hair on power, but it has so much torque that you can race on 3rd gear. The handling is superb and so is the fuel injection. But that shaft drive just took the fun out of this bike.

Such an awesome bike. Why the shaft drive tho? Same thing with the Vmax...why not put a chain on those bad boys.

And what didn't you like about the shaft drive?
