So apparently I also got the big buell tool kit and the tail bag that goes under the seat. Cool. Blew off work today and took it out for a few hundred miles of backroads and forest service roads. Wet, cold roads covered with gravel and leaves. Loads of fun, definitely loving the bike. Not loving the handlebars though, still need to find some stockers. I did manage a solid 44mpg, driving like an ass the whole time.
Oh yeah, not sure I'm keeping the Corbin either. Gotta put some miles on with the stock seat and see what that's like.

Did you pick this one up in MD?
Yup. Way north and east. Know it?
Good to see you having fun on your bike so quickly. Mine's an 06 Uly and to me it's the ultimate solo touring bike.
Honestly the bikes not too bad two up either. my wife does not like to ride very often and we're not scrawny people by any means but it does very well with two people on it. Absorbs bumps like a champ has tons of power. I can say the only problem with another person in the back is easy 4th gear power wheelies
That is a concern of mine. My FJ1200 had a longer wheelbase than a busa, and was freight train stable, and never 'accidentally' lifted the front. The uly is an inch and a half shorter than an RSV1000R, and tall. Just by my lonesome I pulled the front up over a bump at 60mph. Soon I'll throw all the bags on, go get a bunch of beer and see how it handles loaded.
Scrawny people ? I resemble that remark ! float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
