It's here!!!

Well, after 2 months of waiting, my bike finally arrived! Nash dropped me off to pick it up and this thing is bad ass! It is extremely stable and the low end grunt is amazing. I had it up to 9k rpm once (13.5k redline) in 2nd gear and the front end started coming up at 85 mph They have been making ~160 whp & 82 ft/lbs of torque and weigh about 405 lbs with 1/4 tank of gas.

I am actually amazed with the bike. It is much more docile than I was thinking it would be. The powerband is so smooth, it is amazing. I had a VERY hard time keeping it under 100mph. The speedo is so far down (because the bike is so small) that I wasn't watching it at first. I thought I was doing 60 and I look down to see the speedo passing 105 mph. Here are some pics before I waxed it, it is even shinier now!
