Rode one a couple weeks ago, I liked the bike but it's too small for me.

Sport Rider did an article about one where they turbo'd it (6 lb boost) and did a few other mods, custom exhaust, streach, etc. Said it rode very well.

Serious? I sat on one in a dealership and thought it was huge.

Thats b/c they screwed it up from the factory. It's way too ugly and takes too much cash and mods to make it look acceptable. They shanked that on their own.

I'm 6' 220 and sat on one at a dealership. It was huge but my legs pressed hard into the air intakes and made it uncomfortable.

If you are about 5'5" and 300lbs then the bike is perfect for you.

Sat on one in a dealership. Didnt like the look of it very much, didnt like how it felt.

But i've never seen one out in the wild, anywhere. Which, as was said above, is probably why its discontinued.

Yep, that's about right.

See two posts above.

The only way I could actually get my leg under the air scoop thingy on the side was to have my foot WAY back on the rearsets, my toes were barely on the peg. I couldn't move my foot forward to shift without taking my foot off the peg and readjusting my leg. Maybe too small isn't the right term, maybe it's just too cramped.

Other than that I was impressed with the bike, it was a fun hooligan to ride.

A buddy of ours that is probably 5'9" and 400lbs sat on one and it's his favorite bike. Of course he needs that over my old SecaII
