If the muffler were all black, it would look great, but that looks terrible.

Both SE graphics make what was a very sleek bike look like a cheap toy. I never thought they'd top the travesty that...

I wish there were more options at this displacement, but I'm very satisfied with the Kawi thus far. I probably would have leaned toward a CBR 250 or 400 if they sold them here.

I'm just over 50 mpg, and I'm pretty disappointed. I knew it wouldn't be as good as my Virago, which was right around 80, but this is far enough from advertised that I'm thinking something might be...

I have 1100 in just over two months...and there was a vacation in there somewhere.

I should have about 10K by this time next year.

Picked up a couple gallons of Rotella T 5W-40 today at Wally World.

It was "red tagged" at $15 and rang up for $11. Awesome.

I think that you're OK by 1K.

At 1000 miles, assuming an average speed of 50MPH, you've ridden 20 hours or 1200 minutes. Assuming you average 6000 RPMs for that 1200 minutes, each piston has...

No, the bike's less than two months old and they were perfect...but they are almost flush with the windscreen.

It's just a design flaw.

Just for grins, I surveyed the first few pages of "girls on bikes rock", and I stopped at 5 blue, 1 red, 1 black, 1 green.
