My new 2002 750s ie arrived last night.
I had not ridden in 4-5 years.. my last bike was a 1997 ducati monster 750. I had gone to the local Buell dealership, and tried out an XB9 before my wife surprised me with this duck. When I was riding the buell I thought maybe I had forgotten how to ride a motorcycle! It felt like I was fighting it at lower speeds...
I got the duck last night, jumped on and it was like picking up from the day I left off. I just cant find a better handling bike.
There are a couple of differences on mine that where not on my 1997 model...
First thing.. the flyscreen looks like an afterthought. (I like naked bikes, not thong-wearing bikini bikes) Is there are trick to removing it? I noticed there will be some exposed wiring if I do. Any advice would be appreciated.
Also.. looks like it has some sort of emissions thing on the right side of the bike, under the seat.... Whats up with that? is this a california model or something? Any tricks to removing it?
This one just seems a little bulkier in the lines that the 750 I had. I want to start taking parts off, slimming it down...
