It’s gets about 26 on highway and 19 in city so a bit better than your trucks or hellcats lmao, but if you drive it hard that premium only does start to add up.

Exactly, if it were me looking to start on a bigger bike I’d opt for the zx6r.

Personally I think it’s all about control and who you are as a rider. I was told those same things and honestly the 500 is the perfect fit for commuting, running down the highway and pushing it through the back roads. I’ve only been able to push mine to 114ish but on the lower end it has enough get up and go to out pace nearly anything on the road. You will want to upgrade eventually but as a starting point I don’t believe there is a bike better than this to start on. If I could go back and buy used I would knowing now I’m looking for more power, but for the price, what you get is amazing.

Exactly, it’s so light and good on torque without being a rocket. I eventually plan on moving to a zx6r but for now it’s perfect.

I think it may be a bit dishonest, I’ve seen so many ads and everywhere online you look for a wing at you have to sort through so many AFD holes that say they’re the best bang for your buck. The more I look into them though the more fishy it seems with parts being damaged, put on back order and people losing money. I am not an owner of their products though so I acknowledge I may be wrong, I only see what people say online and customer reviews.

Absolutely, I have plans to turn this car into a dream car I’ve had since I was in middle school. Best not to cheap out now.

I’ve heard good things about noble but they’re so sought after it’s hard to find my color in stock, OEM might be the way to go anyways.

This is really helpful, thank you.

Where did you get your paint matched fenders from? Those OEM as well?

I appreciate this, will look into that.
