It was down pouring and my dealer asked me if I was sure I wanted to pick it up today... Ummm, yes I think I do! I ran it about an hour through the rain and this bad boy is awesome!

Sorry about the low quality pic, it was pretty late by the time I got home.

Nice dude! I think I put about 20-30 on mine... I will admit, my ass was hurting pretty bad by the end of the trip. Also, I had the honor of riding through the rain FREEZING... I actually had to pull over a couple times. Did you get the warrantee? I ended up getting it since it cost more to buy it later and you get 60 days to drop without a penalty.

I had to... It was that or wait another day 2 days! It wasn't that bad either, the only annoying thing was not being able to blow past the porsche next to me because I'm breaking it in...

The muffler is pretty ridiculous, I liked the idea I saw of sanding and painting it black but I wonder if that would do anything to the warranty? The sound isn't nearly as bad as that youtube video but I still will be buying a new muffler the first chance I get/see a quality one.

Maybe they think no one will want to ride yet anything? I think the more popular riding states (ie Florida and Cali) got them first because they have strong sales year round. The place I bought mine from was huge!

BTW, Honda has a promo 1.99% financing if your credit is good enough... I'm going to end up paying only $170 interest over three years! Make sure to apply for that when you are at your dealer.

yessir! the 1.99 was a huge win... and honda is stern, having what they call "super approved" status is a good feeling!

my dealer is getting 5 bikes from a WV dealer who hasnt taken deposits yet, they're scooping them up near MSRP since they have deposits well over MSRP right now

That 1.99 APR is amazing! I didn't finance though...
