Thank you everyone!!! I got a lot of ideas to research I hadn't thought of.

so, used? or is the dealer throwing on the extra goodies?

congrats on the ride! always wanted to throw the lowers on my copper 03 650S, but didn't get around to it. toss in a rear seat eliminator, a fender eliminator, possibly a tire hugger, and you have one nice-looking ride. be aware the bike's biggest drawbacks are it's soft front suspension and less-than-confidence-inspiring brakes. nothing aftermarket can't fix though.

if ergonomics become a concern, my 650 had the stock clip-ons from a Honda Hawk, and it made all the difference in the world. just being able to get the weight off my wrists was a huge advantage. i don't imagine you'll need the pegs lowered, but a lot of people swap in some stock Buell pegs to get some more room as well.

and, of course, get some good gear: www.newenough.com.

i HIGHLY recommend this jacket:

awesome deal on a jacket that's perfect for about any weather condition
