Hey guys, thanks for the quick reply! Truth is, I really love the little beastie. In fact, I flew up to Seattle last Tuesday and rode her straight home to Orange, CA trying to beat the rain and snow. Did the 1500 miles in 2 days and came away with a rear tire worn to the threads, and frozen fingers which I hope will feel better soon.

The bike is very honest in the twisties, but she's a bit light on grunt. I was thinking along the same lines you've suggested, but I didn't have any links to start my search. I'm in the motorcycle industry, sadly, in the HD market. But, I'm looking forward to my original passion, which has always been sport bikes.

Looking forward to chatting with you all later
