    Scammed?

    Love this thread.... the reason we are so easily duped is the idea of getting something we do not deserve triggers our greed. And as we begin thinking about our new 45' boat, airplane, or multiple...

    Ground clearance?

    I guess I have not had an issue with this. As to belt drive....guessing this would add about $1500 to the prices....which are already fairly high IMO

    The list

    Lots of great ideas here... and I think one of the best would be a hand operated brake on the throttle side. I have always "covered" the brake lever when on two wheels when anywhere near another...

    While not being able to "chirp" the tire during an upshift, if one is a bit overzealous with throttle out of the hole, it will spin up fairly easily.

    Cost of semi automatic

    In all the pricing I can see, the semi automatic is $1500 retail. With skillful negotiation this can be reduced more often than not.
