Even though it snowed this morning the roads were clear so I bundled up and picked up The Yellow Banana - 2002 Sprint w/ 4800 miles on the clock.
The previous owner put on the Two Brothers canister, remapped the fuel injection and added taller clip ons.
I stupidly took the long cut home and froze my ass off but initial impressions are: no shortage of power, really good handling and brakes, supple suspension, comfortable seat, motor is not as relaxed as a big Buell but it's not annoyingly inline-4 buzzy, surprisingly good wind protection, lots of room to shift around on, it has the smoothest shifting gearbox I've ever encountered, light clutch pull - this is going to be a really fun bike which will be hell on wheels in the corners.
I like it.
