:D My son friend was at the house tonight on a 2002 Kawasaki Mean streak he is thinking about buying. He wanted me to check it out the bike sat and felt small to me compaired to my Retro. Overall a nice looking bike. He wanted me to drive it so I took her out and gave her all she had well it ain't no X. I was impressed with the bike however it a little slower taking off but has a lot of power once she gets rolling. I ran the bike hard up the road and back it handled very well no surprizes. The only thing I truely disliked was the foward controls it positions the rear brake pedal so that you have to remove your foot from the peg to reach it. I told him that was a safety hazzard, but could be fixed by relocating the link rod. The bike has 8,600 miles on it and the guys asking $8,000.00 I told him I thought that was a little high. He has been looking on e-bay for an X. I told him to go test drive X before desides to buy. Told him to look at a C model as it's more sporty looking and slightly lighter than the Retro.
