I like it. It sure looks like my 550 Nighthawk. It even has the same wheels. I hope you get as much enjoyment as I have with mine. I have owned a Sporty before and the the 550 has a better fell to me. I wish you many years of safe riding.

I'll pick it up tomorrow, supposed to be sunny but a bit on the nippy side. It's a 60 mile ride but should be fun. Dress warm and stop for coffee, what could be better. Snow where I live, up the mountain. On Thu, Nov 17, 2011 at 1:25 PM, marcel cerdan <[email protected]> wrote: So what : some ice and snow with a 10°F would not stop a real biker, right ?! Hey just bought mine, said the same thing, took 3 weeks to fix, and I'm using it until a finger falls off ! Will be in Quebec next week but not with the Nighthawk and hope to get a taste of snow !
