Here are some pics of my Uncle's bike. He is 59 years young. And I bet you thought all older riders drove Harley's

I'm with mikey here. that is way, way, way too much bike for me. i know that i would either lose my license or kill myself in less than a month if i had that thing.

your uncle is da man. does he have a side car for that puppy to hold his big, clanging, brass balls?

tell him nice bike and be freaking careful.

It's funny he has been riding his whole life and has been quite a mod freak with his bikes.

So far he lowered the bike and changed the forks(or something to do with the forks) and put on ultra high performance tires.

It looks awesome and from what I read about it is. He goes down to the Everglades in Florida (he lives in Pompano) and watches the street races with his other bike buddies where they do top end runs. The winner is who ever gives first looses He would do this with his old bike a Kawasaki 1100 which had a custom made turbo and exhaust on it, he said riding a bike at 170 is like driving thru a straw

For you non motorcycle people who are wondering whats so great about this bike... it's the quickest production vehicle you can buy on the planet.

1/4 9.95@145mph (basically 10 seconds of twist throttle time gets you to 150mph)
Top Speed 194 (cycle world)
All this STOCK with a warranty and it gets 40mpg on the highway!
