The battery is very sensitive and can be drained easily. For example, if I put the key to "on" and don't hit the starter, the battery will drain. If I stall I have to wait about 3 seconds before I can start it again. No more rolling starts like on the japs.

Dash is hard to read at speed.

I can hardly tuck.

I can barely slip the clutch when putting the bike in the van. Shit, I almost dropped it twice yesterday trying to put it away. You had to be there.

Other than that, I'm very happy.

Sounds like 20k well spent....

Buying that bike is like buying a shoe that doesnt fit because it looks good....

Isn't that the truth 2k! :D

you better hope that piece of shit doesnt brake,your bike will be sitting in Whiteys shop for months while waiting for the parts..my boy had the 998 and some shit happen with the trany,he missed out on a whole season.first they didnt want to warranty it because they said it was abused and that took some time..you seen what happen to E Boz's bike..it didnt last 200 miles :lol: and thats with factory support behined him..
you made a bad choice just so you can get some heads to turn :roll:
for that $ you could have gotten your self a 1000RR and a 600RR for track use..
now your gonna try and play the racer role with this 999..your better off just parking it and posen and hope noone tries to play you out :D

You can say that again...
