anyway, being a new dealer, who is more an enthusiast you sometimes want to take advantage and A. bring in and try and sell new cool stuff so you can see it yourself and B. bring in and try and sell new cool stuff so you can see it yourself and see if you want one.
B. is the main factor here. as we keep going on travel rides and keep looking for more challenging stuff where as my 400 works great Amber's 250 finds itself struggling from time to time and rightfully so. she does a great job on some of that stuff because she'll make it through stuff that i never thought she would.
so BMS and i have chatted over the last year or so and the 800 v-twin was always very appealing to me, as a replacement machine for Amber and as something i would like to introduce to my customers. well the only way to really check one out is to pull the trigger on it and order one. so that's what i did on new years eve and one week later here she was........about 5 days sooner than the on line tracking told me it would be. so we got it off the truck and i went to town to get it in a state where i could fire it up and pull it in the shop......so here she is, almost together.....
only took 2 quick runs on it down the road and lifted at 63mph and it had plenty left.
