				Anybody on this list have one (I am more interested in 955i
 versions, 2001-2002)?  I'd like to ask a few questions about
 owners' experiences with the newer models.  I have been
 looking for a mailing list,  but now hits so far.  Would also
 appreciate any links anybody can provide.
 
 Thanks,
 
 Gustavo

				I rode one and was very impressed with the power this bike generates but the 
 suspension was even worse than the KLRs.  Brake dive was frightening.  Stand 
 over hight was also very high.  I am an even six foot and felt like I was 
 going to high side it at every light or stop.  Very powerful though and the 
 twin sounds hot too.

I think it depends on the year.  In 2001 they changed
 the front fork springs.

				That twin should sound pretty hot, seeing how it is a triple.

 PS FWIW My Sprint ST (basically identical 955cc motor) has been mechanically
 perfect (for 7500 miles) and I dragged a peg with Authority this past
 Thursday night, with the 3 bag luggage bolted on. No way I'm selling it for
 less than $10k now.....

				No way Rev.  
    
   The devil I saw wasn't holding no fiddle.  Looked more like a first aid kit and possibly a pad of admittance forms.  Nonetheless, all ended well other than a necessary change of underwear.  I don't think the devil likes poo.

 Well, Were you listening 'Devil Went Down to Georgia' w/ Charlie 
 Daniels and the fellar you saw, was he holding a gold fiddle? 
 
 Could be, just could be.
