I think itīs just wonderful, the chassi is great stock, Iīm about to start adjusting it for me and will see how that turns out. but I bet itīll be even better.
The gearbos havenīt given me any trouble, I had one false neutral on a weak downshift, other than that I canīt complain on the gearbox. Ok it might not be as smooth as it could be, but itīs a mean bike so you need to treat it mean. 
But asking me if itīs a good bike is like asking Lasse if his kid is going to be the emperor of the world, of course Iīm gonna say it is. 
Go out and ride it if you get the chance, great chassie with a great engine. When you flick the wrist and hear the engine growl and the launch you of, it really makes you feel good. The TL was a lot of fun, but this i s worth every dime I spent on it.
Thanks to all for your comments.

Simply bad ass. Nice pics too.
The swingarm and exhaust outlet are pure mechanical porn.
