        that should be fun...

        I had one and liked how light it was comparatively...

        Now my son has one and thinks its pretty heavy

          ya, I really enjoy those little twins. Cosmetically the bike was pretty rough, so I decided to turn it into a little cafe bike for around town. It will be quite a bit lighter than the stock bike. I was amazed at how heavy the actual 400 engine is out of the frame.
