    I think I understand why the passenger seat is completly hidden under a plastic cowling.

    No, I did not look. I believe you. I probably would not remove pillion cover, and might consider removing rear foot pegs. (Do you really want to advertise "space available for someone just this size?")

    On the other hand... YRMV. either way, keep us posted & include pictures of the BIKE.

    Congrats,

    The bike was fun for that 1/4 mile, then ya just felt like an idiot being on it.
    I actually like the riding position, as my XS11 is the same.I don't feel like and idiot, I feel in control. I like that it does everything the my XS does, only better and more refined. But, it is kind of like putting a '69 Dodge Charger against a Subaru WRX. The Suby would probably win, but would have no where near the class! Gotta keep the XS to be my '69 Charger! I guess it is all a matter of the kind of riding you like, though

    PS: My wife is trying to take it away, now I bought it with my allowance money, so I told her to go get her own

    It should be a lot of fun. I am looking at regearing to reduce the top end (had it to about 150ish by the clock). I would rather have the handling than the flat out speed. But it is no slouch

    My wife said that she will NOT ride on the back. She said if she gets on, she will be driving! I wonder if I really should have gotten her into motorcycles or not...

    I was just looking at a 2001 Superhawk with 21000 miles in mint condition, askin $3100! For the money they seem like a really good buy. A coworker of mine has one and it sounds nice. Some day!

    Hi T99,
    congratulations on the new bike.
    Gotta question about the passenger ergonomics though.
    Where can one find a sexy midget to fit those high footpegs?
