    I heard that they were over-priced crap?
    That's the extent of my experience.

    A friend had one, and I have test ridden a few.

    The early one's had some quality control issues. The vibration causes
    loosened fasteners (if you have owned a Norton Commando you will know what I
    mean).

    A hoot to ride, expensive for what you get (but you do get to join a Hog
    club if that's your thing) lots of low down grunt, quick steering.

    Alternatives any large bore naked bike, Ducati Monster (superior in my view)
    etc.

    friends got one...x1 lightening? - blue anyway
    the race kit makes a huge difference to performance
    goes fast...specially round mountains
    sits up real easy
    eats tyres
    not for long distance touring - by owners admission
    dont seem to require a lot of maintenance...for a harley
    mix of imperial and metric fasteners
    shop around for parts or you WILL get ripped off

    I think one of the Jap V twin sport bikes makes much more
    sence...especially if you don't do your own mechanicking

    Well I dunno Johnno, this raises an interesting issue, is it actually
    you're or your.

    Traditionally it's

    Jeez your a fuckwit Nev

    so the your could be considered correct

    On the other hand he wasn't using the correct quote he only asked
    what is it your called again Nev

    answering the rhetorical question with the widely accepted answer, hence
    he is grammatically incorrect....

    On the third hand (using a few toes) this is Atec, which means by
    definition he's wrong...
