For that much money...I'd want a button...........
Dang...it sure is purty!
Is that FI software accessible? 'GG Software' or somesuch?
Now THAT would be neat..an OEM box that you can fix yourself!

And only three crank revolutions to power the thing up (#1 ECU, #2 In-tank fuel pump, #3 Injector)! Now...when was the last time you ever heard a big 4T turn over three times with a kick?
I wonder if it will be as easy to start in a couple years...........
Your's isn't an 'animal' out of the box...it's a MONSTER!! ..it's the 'Monster Energy' model I'm sayin'....
Good point CC it's a MONSTER !!
Thanks for correcting me !!!
I was figuring that the battery would charge while at home, saving the weight and space of a charging system on the bike. The Li would certainly have the capacity for a 3 day weekend trip I think.
Hey Tom, Nice photo of your grandpa in front of your trailer. You always bring him along to cook your meals? Ha!! Just kidding.
BTW you look short. How's the reach on that new bike?

I'd rather be a smartass like carvr, than a dumbass like.... well, you fill in the blank!

Grandpa ?? ****.....HA good one!
Oh yea I am a grandpa to 2 kids, I forget sometimes!
It's just a tad taller than the KDX, I would say an inch or so.
I'm not touching the ground flat but not on the tippy toes, somewhere
in the middle.
Tom, seeing you cook reminds me of that breakfast you cooked at H&M, my stomach's growling!
When the time approaches let us know before you hit H&M, the earlier the warning the higher the likelihood. I get an additional week of vacation next year so I'll have some set aside. I'll bet KDX Rick will be game and hopefully others. If I remember you guys went earlier in the year; personally that'd be my preference and skip 95° weather.
It'll be interesting with the changes in the bikes and all. Rumor has it that some other guy we both know might be lookin' around as well.
Sorry I missed the ride up there, we'll see if it works out better next year.

What an awesome looking machine Tom - you helped me so much when I converted my front forks on my KDX and I am thrilled for you... I think that I will stay 2 stroke to the end, but I can see why this one would have tempted anyone...
