Yes, and doesnt this piece look like its been through the accountants slicer already? VS a tube welded tube piece that would require 4 steps, cutting, bending, welding, finishing. This piece is just cast

They didn't import any to the US because of the crappy sales numbers.

What's up with people not contacting me back... first the boots....

Applied to get the bike monday and the guy said he would call me back by tuesday or wednesday at the latest. Friday rolls around and I call them back and let them know I hadn't gotten a call yet. The retarded receptionist told me the guy would call me back within the hour. Its now saturday... no call. Wth?

Welcome to the reason shit is outsourced: you still get the same shitty service that you received when it was onshore (like in your situation) but it's cheaper for the company.

I will bet the same asshole who didn't call you back felt entitled to a paycheck just for showing his ass up to work.

I have an ER-6n, naked ninja 650r, and its a great bike to me. Like the SV, but not in production anymore. The Kawi, basically great power curve, controllable, fun. Quick enough through the legal to about 80 range, top end is about 130...

Pics or it didn't happen!

When do the mods begin? I looked at one at Oneida Suzuki when I picked up my new battery the other day and contemplated bring it home as something to screw around with...
