Default Well, my Sporty is offically broken in...

Passed 500 miles today...rode 120...and when the clock ticked over, I twisted the grip and let her rip. Now, I can't get this chit eatin' grin off my face.

When I had my sporty I was really suprised when I ran it good for the first time. They are nice and docile down low, but when you get on them they get up and move great. Have fun

Oh man...nothing like it, it was great to let'er rip...and it seems happier the harder you run it.

That was the hardest thing when I bought mine last year. I am so glad now that I can be up to 70+mph at the end of the highway ramp. And that isn't even asking for much. Can't wait to get my new mufflers next week. I just wish the weather would be more cooperative. Congrats!
