Very sharp looking bike, man. Love the turn signals, the Sargent seat rocks, and those waves are totally cool lookin'. Now, add some carbon fiber cans, ditch the passenger pegs and the pixie hat, and you'd have PRECISELY the bike I want eventually (it's all about the Benjamins, eh?).
I'm not sure I'd replace the rotors just for the he11 of it, but when the time comes, I'm gonna haff to git me some o' those. Powdercoat the forks black, and that thing would be totally evil.
Now, for the more tech-savvy, riddle me this:
These wave rotors are all the rage, trendy even. And admittedly they look utterly bitchin' and I want some. But other than weight, is there any significant performance advantage? I mean, seems to me, surface area is reduced some, which is not necessarily a good thing. However, with the slight arcs along the circumference, I suppose that offers somewhat more surface area for cooling, right?
Reminds me somewhat of the Fat Tire craze, where everyone figured 190s or bigger were the way to go, claimed better performance from more rubber on the road, etc. But now folks are realizin' that handling's better with skinnier tires and going back.
But the waves DO look ultra cool, and face it - the more black you can add, the better :-D
