It does everything damn well. Power (acres of torque - I added Staintune), balanced handling (I added the Ohllins), excellent braking (I added SS lines), eats asphalt at over 100 mph all day long and then idles like a kitten.

Edit: BTW, these bikes can be had for nominal $$$. A pity...a wonderful rig.
