Had to delay shipment until Wednesday due to my work schedule but good news is it's the same company and driver that delivered my vader. So, they know what's up and will be rolling it right up the garage again.

Bike is mostly together just a few odds and ends left and lock Tite on some fasteners. I should have it's maiden voyage this afternoon

I'm really surprised at the quality of the bike. It is much better made than the vader in some areas, especially the fairings.

I was also shocked at the size of the bike. It's just as big as the 08 ninja 250 i used to have. Curious to see what it can cruise at in stock form, after break in, of course.

I took the bike out for a short ride last night. It's going to take a little getting used to on my part, due to not riding a sport bike style in several years. It shifted smoothly and seems to have more than enough power for it's size. I never ringed it's neck but got it up 40 easily. This is much better than the vader in stock form. I could barely push it to 40 without getting the rpms high. So far I'm very satisfied and we will see how the bike breaks in and loosens up

I've put on about 400 miles so far and I have to say things are going good. The one thing that drives me nuts is there is a buzzing in the front fairing around the headlight and windscreen. I'm going to attempt to put some weather stripping around there and see if it can help. That's the only thing that has bothered me so far and the bike is running and holding together great.

Nice looking bike, I like the green on black. Too bad the front calipers aren't the same green as the rest of the bike. Can it still be insured?
