Re: ok...i got my first bike
that stretched out lowered crap corners poorly, you have no gorund clearance and a stupid long wheelbase, the bike is already a "big" 1000 and with it being lowered, about the only thing its good for is drag racing... it will corner like shit, and if u do get it to turn your gonna scrape plastics...
these arent cars, lowering them makes handling worse, not better. People that use weight as an excuse for getting a liter bike are misinformed, i know a few dudes in the mid 200s that competatively race 600s. But you got a deal, so i wont knock you. |

But you got a deal, so i wont knock you. i'm honestly not looking to drop my knees into any corners either...i knew this was more of a straight line style bike...kinda what i wanted coming from a drag racing mentality with my mustangs.i hope i don't scrape plastics with my heavy ass on it...i can't wait for the weather to break a bit. |
Re: ok...i got my first bike
suit yourself, you cant scrape knee on that, so dont worry, it'll rub on any halfway lean if its as low as i imagine.
