Hey Cliff....you can keep the handle....it's a good one. Your name is where your heart is. Don't change your name to Malarie though.
And....another data point....the bike weighs 419 lbs (230 rear/189 front). This with 3.7 gallons of gas in it and new BT014's. What amazes me is how light and small it feels. My R1100S looks HUGE sitting next to it. Well...today's another shiney day in Middle Georgia...guess I need to stretch it's legs some...huh?
