Not at all. Personally calling it a sporty is no big deal, but that is just me.

Thanks. It was originally orange but we changed everything out and are pleased with the outcome. I am looking forward to changing the wheels and then will pretty much be done.

I have relocated the from turn signals to the forks and love the look. Need to take some new pictures!
