It is a lot of bike, at almost 417 pounds and a better than  mph top speed, you shouldn't have the trouble with traffic or wind you'd get on a 250. |

450 lbs and 99mph for the 2006... It's a great bike on the freeway... Plenty of peep.... And once you get used to the weight... you fall in love with it. The biggest complaint I have is there is no place for my cell phone and to set up a charger. Normally I'd just put one under the seat but I can't with this bike as there is no, and I mean no storage under the seat.
I rode it in the rain today... and you know what... you don't know it's raining with this bike... You just need to be careful of the wet road.

They are well built. A friend got rear ended while riding his and they just had to do a little body work on the tail lights so it could be ridden home halfway across the country however he was over a week in a coma, several months in the hospital and two years later still going through rehab and will never be able to ride again.
The Atlantic of those years has the stereo, room for two full face helmets under the seat, cruise control, self canceling turn signals and a ECU that can be set to race mode for sanctioned track events.
If yours has an Immobilizer get the keys copied now and never use the last or master key to run the bike. It can cost thousands to get past the system once you loose the last coded key as everything from the ignition switch to ecu, throttle body, dash and fuel pump needs to get the proper code from the key in order to start the bike.
Enjoy responsibly and ride safe.

The styling reminds me of the pressed steel frame motorcycles of the 1950s from eastern Europe, only nicer looking.

Enjoy responsibly and ride safe. I have a friend who had the same thing happen. Minimal damage to the scoot, major damage to him. several years later and still brain damage. He wears a helmet when he rides a Burgman with training wheels now. |
