I enjoyed the review. Not a bike for me...but the thing looks fun....and what else can you buy that'll perform like that and be reliable in that class?

I think they only do it here....in Europe some of the models come with not the orange shaky lights (xsr900 for example). I think it has something to do with NA needing orange turn signals. So they reach for the parts bin....

First thing to do is get rid of those Orange globes, bunny ear signals, way out of place, replaced with TST flush mount up front, and BL6 rear, I did get a pair of Cyclops Aurora lights with DRL Halos.
