Goodbye 790cc . . . #105349 10/13/2006 4:05 PM Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 1,104 Boston, MA Mikey790 OP Learned Hand OP Mikey790 Learned Hand Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 1,104 Boston, MA I was just looking into the specs of the 2007 line. Since the Standard Bonnie, and the America have been outfitted with the 865cc - wouldn't that mean that the 790cc is gone?

Never thought of that. Here I was saying to myself I should have waited till spring and got the 865...... but now i can say "yes its the last year they came with the 790 and spoked wheels" The percentage you're paying is too high-priced While you're living beyond all your means And the man in the suit has just bought a new car From the profit he's made on your dreams

They will be worth a fortune to people who want to get some decent performance out of the '07 bikes.
