No really, I hope it arrives soon. I officially picked mine up this afternoon and took it for a 55 mile ride. I think we done good, the bike is very comfortable and handles very nice. The toughest part is not reving the motor past the recommended 3500 rpm for the first 100 miles. Seems like your just giving it gas and you have to shift. Oh, and I don't know why all these journalists are saying that the tranny is hard to down shift. If anything it is really stiff on the upshift, which i believe will improve with some miles.

Well, let us know when you get it.

Wow! I really like the way the scorched yellow looks in that light, she looks really good. Glad you got her, now go ride the tires of that thing.

You can order any of the factory colors for the infill panels. The bags are all the "flat" black and the infill panels are removable. I was hoping the black panel would be less glossy so will likely have them painted to a closer match to the bag.

I haven't got the bill for the accessories yet so I'm not sure. I do know that the infill panels are priced seperately from the bag and or thehardware kit. I suspect the parts dept, as opposed to sales, could pull it up on their fiche. I THINK the panels were around $125.
