What a beautiful machine. Congratulations.

To CalVin owners, I notice the skunk seats on these machines tend to stay put. Is that to suggest they are actually comfortable, competent thrones? Seems most other iterations of these bikes need the seats reworked....

Over all I love the way the  classic bike looks. But  If I had my choice, I would like to see it with the Crome gas tank inlay, like the loop frames, and this may get flamed, but I’d also like to see EV rims.

They are great bikes.  Knew I had to have one when I first saw the 2006 model.  My first NEW motorcycle, in white.  Put lower watt bulbs in the spotlights, otherwise they'll run down your battery at low RPM’s.  Try PIA super white (or bright?) 35W.  Stock seat is more comfy than most.

Congrats!
