again, looks great.

Unfortunately Pink has got to go. I have no interest in riding it now...so she's on the market.

After about 70 miles (more to come today)...I've got a few first impressions.


1. This bike is LOUD.

2. This bike has 5 gears. It only needs 2....1st and 2nd. Torque and Power EVERYWHERE!

3. Smilies are mandatory when riding this bike.

4. Waaaaaaaaaay more comfortable than the Suzuki.


A few pics from just now:

The mirrors are ok. I like how they look...but I can't see much. The bought a set of OEM's...I'm gonna but them on and see which I like better.

What kind of speed do you get out of 2nd??
I know 6th is a waste on the 1125... rarely even use 5th, 2 and 3 are the main ones.

Glad you are loving it. Impressions on the Corsa III's compared to the Powers???

Speed...I can do atleast 75 in 3rd...maybe more.

As far as the Corsa's...so far so good. I'm running them at pretty high pressure right now...about 33 up front and 37 rear. I haven't hit any 'good' twisties yet...so I can't be sure just yet. I'll test them this afternoon and adjust pressure and see if I like them.
