its a 2001, it was about $5500 with all the taxes.

as far as stats go,

I don't have the balls to find the top speed YET, fastest I've been was around 155MPH. (thats fast enough for me).

you don't really ride this so much as you cling on for your life, and alot of the performance comes down to how good the rider is. I've heard people say the 0-60 time is usually somewhere in the 3.2's-3.6's. I'm not exactly sure.

here's a spec sheet

Ah yes, another fellow rider, good to see.

Glad to see you went with a 6 and not anything larger for your first bike. Respect the power that thing has, even a 6 can bite you in the ass if not respected properly.

Need any tips, let me know.

Nice bike man, I really like the color combo...same as my high school and almost the same as Umich's. Kind of Wolverine-esque too...a most excellent ride. STay safe
