240 lbs.

I think that is pretty light for an Automated Teller Machine.

But what is so funny?

Ditch the rear/passenger pegs, the flyscreen, and replace the mirrors with some Rizoma's or bar end mirrors. I love my reverse retro Rizoma's.

Already got the bar end mirrors on the way and sold the existing mirrors, will ditch the flyscreen when I get my clip-ons and lower the headlight and gauges (will do all this at once), can't lose the passenger pegs cause wifey will be pissed she likes to ride too.

Also wanna swap the exhaust for quat-d. I love the look of the empty backspace and also I need to move the noise/heat away from wifey.

MOTHER OF ALL THINGS WONDERFUL!!!!

Just went for a quick ride to the gas station to fill it up. First ride on the road since I got it. Could not go far b/c of threatening clouds but holy shit. So much more power than the old 750 and I did not get past 1/4 throttle. Currently geared at 15/40 b/c that was the only rear sprocket spare I had (will go to 15/44 soon as get get the new one) and it still pulls like a freight train.

Sounds incredible now with the open clutch and those Sils........ ahh those Sils, such sweet music.

Wonder of all wonders it is supposed to be thunderstorms all weekend here. I am so surprised

Did you get up in the RPM range at all?

That's where you'll really feel the might of the 4-valve engine.

Ya I know, I only hit about 6k but still compared to the 750 it is amazing. So smooth and thats with poor gearing. Cant wait to get my 44T rear.

Yeah, I went from a 750 to an S4.

Trust me, the first time you hit the upper RPMs under full throttle you're gonna be amazed.

I sat on that bike and promised to buy it from the guy....
You got a good deal.
He dropped the price alot from when i first looked at it.

You live in FL?

Yes, I felt like it was a very good deal. I think the current market is forcing people to sell at lower prices. It really is a good time to buy a motorcycle if you can afford it.

JEDI PIMP · March 03, 2009, 03:52:01 PM

Im in jacksonville. He came over one afternoon and i got to drool all over it. I got laid off before buying the bike. I ended up buying a 06 s2r 800 for the same price I belive you paid. He was asking almost 3k more about 5 months ago. Did he give you the steering damper with it?

needtorque · March 03, 2009, 03:55:46 PM

Apparently not lol. He gave me a box of stuff which had a DP vented clutch cover and blue pressure plate in it. Along with all the stock crap. Also included the DP teardrop mirrors. Wish he had told me about the damper I may have paid him a bit extra for that. Ohh well.

JEDI PIMP · March 03, 2009, 04:02:58 PM

with the $ you saved getting that thing you can get any damper you like!
