This is my first sport bike and coming from a '98 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 I am blown away how amazing it is! I got it for $2400 too! I can't put into words how much I love this bike  :D

That's a nice clean bike!
How do you like riding a bike that turns when you want it to, instead of eventually? (I don't care for my wife's vulcan, or any cruiser very much)

Slack: Hnnngg it's so good! I fuckin' love this thing! It took me by surprise how easy it is to ride, I'll never go back to cruisers until I'm so old that my spine is misaligned  :woohoo:

Just wait till the mod bug bites. The itch requires scratching and grows as you become comfortable with the machine.
