wow! soo neat. was such a nice bike when sheepy had it, and would be much better with the 888's.

Enjoy it, and please do it justice and ride it more than sheepy did! :p

Nice, 4 bar suspension is wonderful.

Is that really an 04? It looks immaculate yet it's quite old.

Do you have problems with that seatpost hitting the rear shock? Because it looks like it would be a close shave from the pictures...Unless my logic is completely wrong as usual.
