If you'd like to promote your shop I'd highly suggest posting an ad on here!

He actually has it right.

It's one thing to make a "look at 'MY' new bike" post, but to post a straight up ad is douchey.

Spam has never been very well tolerated. Imagine every dealer posting a thread? And replying to a bike wanted post is different before you argue that point

thanks for the understanding. although funny thing these guy's don't know is, I'm not even a salesman. I'm a service manager. in no way does posting this on here do me any good. I just simply posted It to let the few guys on here looking for one know we have it. not every dealer around has them yet. but again, thanks.

Situations (delays, etc.), like what has happened to the "17CRF 450 have been known to create demand.

The seat cover bothers me less than the damn black bit on the shroud.

So lots have said they don't like the black bit of the rad shroud. That's fine, sometimes a new design takes a while to get used to. But if you really don't like it, does it even need to be there? Can't see why it wouldn't work just as well without it. Same goes for the black bit covering that lovely titanium tank. I know the rad shrouds bolt to it, but I'll be looking at ways to ditch that part straight away.

Think you knees transitioning forward and back would get caught without it... but the point about the shroud is interesting.

KTM has done it recently too, made the shrouds go over the tank. I always thought it was an opportunity to save a little weight making it integrated, ie like the older shrouds that joined at the front of the tank.

Those shrouds would look good with a black frame and red number plates

If it had black rims, the black on the shroud would look good.

Sorry, missed this.

Yep, it needs Red shrouds.

Given the rest of the graphics package, the seat cover, and HRC's visual history, it's actually stunning to me that they made that bit black. That's an actual choice, and to be put plainly, it's not the right one.
