I recently made a conversion from a crotch rocket to cruisers and the ride is different. That being said, Wow. I first got a 750cc and This Kawasaki at 1500cc is at another level. I compared my 750cc to a War Chariot. This Mean Streak I classify as a War Chariot on steroids. The torque is so intense that it makes me want to say that it’s not for beginners, but it can be controlled. The reaction speed on the Thoroughbreds of this chariot makes you think your an actual jockey. It has 5 horses to shift to and pipes that make it sound as if other horses are huffing around you. Yet so incredibly comfortable with the cushion seat and the Saddle bags that make the leather pop. Sissy Bar has been installed. This chariot is meant to be looked at near and far. It was design to give you the horse power to charge the Highways in comfort and style. This bike is meant to be ridden with unlimited miles. Ask your questions. I named it Volponi in honor of the Thoroughbred that won the 2002 Breeders Cup Classic.
