Well, in my youth I had a tasseled Bon Jovi jacket...and my Triumph hardtail had...well never mind.....I've moved on from those days. I might tassel my goatee tho.

Yeah, unlike real men who wear their tassles in the open....

Couple of pics of mine.

I love this bike, it handles great, plenty of torque and IMHO looks pretty sharp.

I have no issues with cornering, ask any of the sport-bike riders I ride with. No wallowing at speed, and I rarely scrape.

Screaming Eagle rear tyre helps me lean it over more, and the pipes give me a little bit more clearance.

The only real issue I have is that it could use a little kick up the arse at top end as it comes off the shop floor, I'm looking to put cams and a 103 kit in it.
But that's just me and my continual pursuit of performance.

Satisfaction - 10 out of 10.

Exactly what I've got - the mid controls mean my feet are where I need them for the twisty bits (bike handles better with my feet there) but the free-way pegs are there for comfort on long not-so-twisty bits.

Thanks guys...yep the 2010 has the black motor. Im going to order one with an early 2010 delivery. I'll add pipes, bars, forward controls before I pick it up. Going for the gloss black and aim to further black it out.
