Sure does thump a lot harder than one little piston. Picked up the 625 yesterday. Kevin rode it 3 times Sat (test ride, lunch, beer at the River Pub), put 33 miles on it. Today was my turn. For the first 5 miles, there was so much vibration coming thru the bike and pegs, I was sure I had made a huge mistake. After that, I just tried to ignore it and relax. We rode to New Braunfels for breakfast, and took the long way back. I stopped at a couple of friends' to show it off, and wound up with 75+ miles of my own on it. Kevin took it to SM again this afternoon. Think I should hide the key? (j/k) The seating position is great (no Human Paperclip), but I think I'll stay off the dirt rds until I can get it lowered- if my toes slip out I'm doomed.
Still fighting with the computer and camera about downloading photos of bike...

You'll get used to the thump eventually.....Do you have rubber mounted bars?

Get that picture up for us soon.

Another 70+mi today, and it's first bath. Solid mounts, but the bars don't vibrate. Its the pegs and frame. I'm begining to think of it as a "free" massage...
PS- How many psi in a "bar"?
