Hey! I have every intention of taking this back to the states. If finding parts is bad enough here, going back to California will be much worse. Just getting it on the road will prove a challenge. Going to car shows and bike events, you will want people educated that these bikes exist. Forget an everyday 1300 gixxer, this is a race bred design to take that hog in the turns! I can't even remember the last time a GP event has taken place back stateside when I was much younger. It must have been prior to '92 and I had wanted something like one of those miraculous bikes diving so low going around hairpin turns.

Now don't think that this will be a trailer queen. I have far too much fun riding right now before the first snowfall in another couple of months. The only regret is that nobody makes frame sliders for 'em. If I must, i'll consider the Tyga panels and do my best to get these back to show quality. Believe it or not, I actually started out on Go-peds and this is the direction that I would like to go. Those little weed whacker motors just don't provide enough........fun.
