I have to agree with everyone this bike is beautiful, and I have not saw another one yet on the road yet. I do also get a lot of looks and thumbs up. I experienced the lag but am getting used to it. I do like the pipes and actually like the mirrors. I have removed the ugly duck tail and got a side mount plate. Dont like the chrome on my Raven but plan on fixing that. Overall this for me is my third bike and I think they hit the nail on the head. Stock is fine, but we all know when we get a new bike we are going to mod a few things to make ours unicque. Way to go Yamaha, thanks for a great bike.
