I thought this kind of bike was not street legal!!!

Please tell me I'm mistaken...I'd love to get me one of these =]

yes, fully street legal since the day the first ones came out in 1986.

@hedlundk Ive heard these bikes are burning profuse amounts of oil,is yours?

Theres even a recall on bad wire harness troubles?

[hedlundk]

It seems like the early 2008 models burn oil, the rest don't seem to. My does burn a lot of oil if I take it on the highway and run it over 5,000 rpm's for a sustained period.

I can't remember a wire harness recall. I did have one for the rear turn signals and muffler bolts.

Galfer stainless brake lines will be the best money you can spend on the bike..... They are a cheap and highly effective upgrade
