There is no way it can be bent that far and also not puttin...

Thanks reef, if I was going to get back into riding I was going to get a real bike. 15 years ago I raced kx500s and I have no doubt this will be amazing to ride. this bike is allot cheaper out here than service hondas so with the price drop I guess comes a element of risk. This title is this somethi...
