You can get a used one fairly cheap these days.

shoot yeah. 3 bangers sound so cool. different, but cool. plus if its got EFI, it will be even better. 3 wheels and 3 cylinders means 3 times the fun right? either way, i'd like to have that bike.

What all does the DVD say?

A few extra lbs in the tires will help. A few less lbs in the seat will also help.
