First and only bike I ever had, Nice little bike, loved the paint job (factory) never seen an identical one, worked like a charm the first two years (bought on 1997), could outrun a few 400s on the street! Then she got all bitchy.....:( plus I also had a close encounter of the third kind with a drunk pedestrian! Smashed right into him, unluckily he survived and my baby was a whole wreck (good thing I smashed him while applying full brakes, front and rear!). Fixed her but later had to sell her (sigh), but must say that all she gave me was pleasure!
