Well, I went and did it! I traded in my '98 T Bird Sport for a new
'01 Sprint RS in Racing Yellow this morning. This bike is great! It is
the first bike that I have owned with a fairing, and I am impressed with
its effectiveness. Other observations: The bike has a much tighter
turning lock than I had expected. That's a pleasant surprise. The
handling seems wonderful, and this is the smoothest bike on the freeway
that I have ever owned. Keeping the revs below 3500 is a real pain, and
could get you run over on Southern California freeways. I can't wait
until I get a few more miles on her and can open her up. The front
brakes are amazing, but the rear hardly works at all. No matter how
hard I push on the pedal, I can't lock the rear tire. It's a good thing
that I never use the rear brake, anyway. The mirrors provide a perfect
view of my shoulders... wot's up wit' dat? And no helmet lock? Tsk,
Tsk. Too bad there are these two blemishes on what is otherwise a
terrific machine. At least they should be easy to fix. Gotta go now...
there are many more miles to be ridden today.
