Year: 2004

Color: Black (only color a bike should be)

Mileage: 952

Overall Rating: Better than free CineMax. Rides like it looks. This is no Ducati 999R and will never be. While suspension work may make the ride a little more comfy, the geometry is the real limiter on handling.

Modifications: TORs, Gaiters, Tank Pads. Napoleon Bar-end mirrors.

Owner Height/Weight: 6’2”/200

Problems / Resolutions:

1) Oil leak – overfilled by dealer (this caused the seal for the shifter to unseat)

2) Wife found out that seat cowl comes off-looking for new solo seat.

Owner Review: Great bike if you like the old school look and don’t mind the comfort associated with clip-ons and rear sets. If you don’t like the clip-ons get a Bonnie. If you want a sportbike don’t get a Thruxton. If you want a cool looking, nice riding, attention getting ride that makes your hands and back hurt but reminds you of when you were a kid and rode an RD 400 (my opinion)
