That seems pretty smart, so you don't get run over on the roads at night... especially since you have a black bike.

Hehe, I did it for the look. But the safety aspect of the rim tape is nice as well.

I think most of us would think a bike would be "faster" than a car. But here's some food for thought - British style.

Nice ride. I had a TLR but sold it and now have a cruiser I'm trying to sale. Its an 02 Volusia if anyone is interested, lol. Don't mean to tread on your thread though.

It does sound the best but it's really , really loud. The video doesn't portray the sound exactly. Plus I reved it to only 3k, the others were reved to 6k.
Not to mention it's ILLEGAL.

Iwould hope for the bike to be faster, but if you want an uprightish comfy ride get a ducati monster. Might not be as fast but you can ride all day.
