yeh sure, i will give it a detail clean on monday in my workshop and then take some good pics of it. will update here definitely
if you are deciding btween this and a cruiser, you have to figure out which kind of bike you want the most. they are different styles and riding experience is different. i was in the same situation choosing between the blade and the HD nightster, then finally left the harley and went for the honda.

Nice stuff Tojo! Awesome colors, yellow sets it off well...

Would be cool if you could adapt the ABS brakes/unit/ecu of the 09 model to the 08 model

yes ABS is great for traffic riding. but considering the good price that i payed for this yellow one, all i know is my 08 is lighter and lighter than a 09. haha

Yeah some days im torn between having a rocket to ride on or just having a lazy cruiser with heaps of torque.

I ride my bike everyday so it does get tiring being on the wrists so much with a sports bike. The VFR i have now is not so bad since its a sports tourer but your still leaning over most of the time. Very handy though when you need to get somewhere in a hurry.
