Bike is already sold And it sold for $4000 Yes your observation is true $4000 will buy a superior performing bike. However...................this bike has soul.Something a CBR or Hyabusa will never possess.

The tank was an easy fit. It is mounted with one 1/4 hex bolt through the tank that goes into a nut that I welded onto the backbone of the frame. Thew only issue was with the tank vibrating but rubber hose split and placed between the frame and the tank solved that.

man, I have a kawasaki w650, I know what you mean. I think that $4000 is still not enough :D
