Where are all you guys finding these bikes? This has got to be the fourth or fifth one in a few months. I have been on the lookout for 9 years to find a cheap one.

Funny looking handlebars. Mirror paint is peeling off.


I've got similar handle bars on my MK2 and really like them.

I'm trying to decide if I should go with pods or airbox. The box I got with the bike is pretty banged up, and didn't include the cap or the rear part (silencer or whatever it's called).

I sure like the looks and the accessibility of the pods, but how exactly does it affect the bike's performance? I hate to sacrifice midrange power, but I guess it's a matter of pros and cons. What are people's experiences running pods with stock exhaust?
