In bed by 10 here! Up at 0600.

No hangover. I like to start the new year with a clear head!

OK . ..  someone[not dmf] has sent me an email with a link to a 800SS . . . looks good, good price . . .

Always forget, why is it that people say "stay away from 800s" . . .

That one has the steel swingarm.

The aluminum is supposed to be better.

OK, thanks . . did not notice that . .  but, why is it most everyone says "stay away from 800s" is the engine no good or not worth the  extra cc compared to 620 or 750[ie] . . .

Based on my butt dyno, The 800 has a bit more top end power.  The 750 feels smoother through the revs and may be close to the 800 in torque numbers.  The 900 is a hoot to ride, plenty of bottom end torque and pulls smooth all the way to the limiter.  I wouldn't be afraid to buy an 800 myself.

Got Torque?

These two dogs were in a fight last night when the fire works went off.
Now all is forgotten.

In the Monster, the 800 is awesome! (over 50k miles of research to validate this opinion)
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
