Would love to get one but need a lottery win.
2013 F6B in black of course
You and me both.Would love to get one but need a lottery win.
I am really stoked about what I see, but man, I really can't see the sense,or dollars and cents, with all that I've done to mine to make it mine, t and now go buy another one just yet. Probably be awhile. Maybe in another 40 k miles or more or when I hit the 100 k mark. But then I have done rash things before when it comes to toys.

Looks a lot better than the images we've been looking at. Wish they would have added cornering ABS though.
