History
Ordered it untested online while still in Germany, for delivery in TX.
Saw the new model at the Frankfurt bike show back in 2008. Holy moly!

Looking good in the TX sun... just the OEM pipes had to go soon - much better now...
And look at this mod: those ugly ears just recently had to make space for some fantastic tiny, but super-bright Kellermanns!
