That black and orange is a sweet looking bike. The exhaust is going to start to match the paint a little too well if you haven't noticed yet. One more reason to switch to an aftermarket system ASAP and maybe save the stockers for resale.

Dude, what is that you're wearing? Some kind of exoskeleton from ICON? Word of wisdom; ditch it all, get a good jacket that can attach to pants; i.e. a LEATHER riding suit with that shit built in. I know, I crashed at the track at I think around 80mph and high sided, I had and retain (after a repair job) that same suit; it's made by Rev'It, get some good skins brudda!

A lot of money invested in a nice bike,
Donny's right- time to get the right gear.

If you ever take a quick spin around the block wearing
a Shoei X-11, that Icon helmet of yours will end up for sale
on ebay. An Arai would be a good buy too.

seams like some guys just dont know the type of riding that would require the gear you have (stunt hard street riding) and a thin mill race leather would not work for the street/stunt type of riding as it's fit is so much closer for track type riding. gear that is made for hard street riding is made for (this may scare some guys)ON BIKE MOBILITY and thats why that type of gear is so useful for its application. Is that a kbc helmet looks like any how I ride ICON gear street but I also ride suomy hemlets no one can tell you what type of gear you should get unless they know the type of riding you do as race gear will not work so well with stunt like riding.just my 2 dollar bill...xxx's

......and the thread is about the beautiful new bike. LOL But gear is always important to mention so I guess it's never off topic. I think Icon makes the coolest looking helmets. I believe Shoei and some other brands will provide the ultimate protection with varied sized shells, how much better, hard to say. Good to see you have vital areas well protected. I currently do not own any chest protection but wear leather with armored knees, hips, back, elbows, shoulders.

BTW, very cool bike. Looks like beautiful country you have to ride through.

For any type of riding a Shoei helmet is
far superior than an Icon IMHO.
For any type of riding a fall in a t-shirt
and some elbow armour will result in worst
trauma than if a brand name fully armoured
leather jacket was worn.
When the proper size motorcycle gear restricts
your riding "style"- well, check your riding style...

tank hands down you have the second best bike on the website enjoy her I know I am enjoying my baby.

nice bike, really like the colour!

She's a thing of beauty Tank.
You have excellent taste !!!!!

Hercsz do you ride that bike she looks spotless I mean absolutely immaculant. I will have to clean mine really good when I get back from disney world taking the kids this week so I will be with out my other baby for a while.

It's a lot of work keeping a bike immaculate. People don't get it. I've already heard "the neighbors are talking about it."

Rook all i know is I have only had my bike for a month and she dont look that good. I mean that bike looks like it just came off the showroom floor. He makes me feel bad like I need to work harder to clean my bike. I do have a excuse though I have two bikes to clean and not enough time to do it. But I will work harder on the 14.

Ya, well, he did a wonderful job photographing it. Nice peripheral stuff but that sharp reflection coming in with the bike placed in diffused lighting really does it. Obviously he's keeping up on the cleaning and waxing too. I think the finish is pretty durable. Take reasonable care of it and don't park outside uncovered too much, it will look like new in a couple years if you wax.

Looking at that front tire... if he did ride the bike- it didn't involve any right turns.

Headers look like stock and they look to be unblemished. I think mine had gray streaks at 500 miles.

With a bike that looks that good I wouldn't blame him for sittin' and staring ar it. I sit there and look at mine fairly often.

Ooo- I think I see some dust he forgot to remove under the front fender.
