I have a Red and Creme '06 Classic, and I absolutely love it. It is just now warm enough where I live to get more than a few miles from home, and I was able to get her out this past weekend. It was just as exciting as the day I pulled away from the dealer. I wish I could see the look on your face!
Welcome Roy. It was a test ride for me too when I was bitten by the rocket bug. You won't have any regrets, you'll just feel sorry for the lonely Speedmaster in the garage.
I'd suggest staying out of the throttle until you get used to the VELOCITY THAT WILL HAVE YOU SCREAMMING DOWN THE STREET and Gigglin' like a school girl !!!!
Sorry, I got a little carried away...
Just wait until you go for your first ride, then you'll understand :bch:
