I love the bike! Just as well mannered and stable as their 4-wheeled cousins, with gobs of power when you want it, and incredible maneuverability for its size. I still can't believe how quickly and easily I can lean it for one side to the other while riding the canyon roads in CO. I've owned older honda's previously so this was my first german bike, so there were a few things I had to get use to.... the turn indicators and indicator cancel button being the biggest change. It's also the heaviest bike I've ridden and have caught myself letting it lean a little too much to one side while sitting at light and such. Perfectly stable once the wheels are spinning though. The older K bikes are getting to be more and more affordable these days. Just got mine back in Feb. and paid $5K. One owner, dealer maintained, and 24K on the clock. At 24K, it's just getting into its prime! I've seen these bikes ridden will into the 100K mile club. I would highly suggest getting one!

Loud as heck for sure and loving it! Ill get a pic later...
Nice. I have mine JB4 tuned, plus a few other goodies including an evolution raceworks intercooler, diverter valves, custom exhaust, all sitting on 18in matte black rims. Love the car. Dyno'd it in CO and was making 405hp/420trqs at the wheels.... gotta love the twin turbos!
