Good read

That's a nice, well-balanced article that captures a lot of the benefits and minor flaws of the Sprint. Not sure where they got the bit about the throttle response not being smooth, though.

There throttle response must be similar to mine. It is only irritating at low speeds but it seems to have a catch in it.

I would suggest getting your throttle cable adjusted. Mine feels like butter even at low rpm's. The strange thing about the video was about the complaint about sore wrists sandwiched in between all the compliments, as if they didn't want to look too enamored by the bike. They even had the 07 bars on it. O well, nice review and at least they picked the fastest color for the review.

TornadoST's got it...almost nil on the throttle free play and you can work the engine like an electric motor (and get incredibly smooth shifts).
Before I tweaked the cable, it was choppy down low...couldn't smootly transition between brake and throttle.
The guy who prepared the bike for the review needs to realize that.

So, I'd like to debate the subject one more time before printing.

Video played ok for me. Pretty good review of the '07. Can't wait to get out and ride more often.
