the yami's headlight and windscreen kinda remind of the droids from the last star wars movie.
They said they used real low gearing on it but trust me, gsxr 1000 engines can go through gas like a ford expedition if you're caning them often. I honestly don't get that much better mileage on my gsxr than in my altima since I drive the altima conservatively.

What kinda mileage did you get on your bike to and from Indy?

I bet the bakker is cheap, lol

1. REAL low gearing would create more torque... but cause it to run more RPM's suck'n more gas..

2. I got high 30's... low 40's if I was on twisties... as I usually ran 80+ on the super slab and with my gearing being as low as it was... it loved the fuel...

before my gearing I could go 175 a tank easy... on my trip I'd start looking at 140-150...

um mild correction. torque output remains the same but is more accessible

It doesn't seem to have been mentioned, but for AV touring at an excellent price point you might consider the 1k V-strom I owned one for a season and like an IDIOT I sold it for what I paid for it.
