"Still, the webpage talks about how the triple tree has been somehow
re-engineered in such a way that the handling isn't much different than
a regular bike. "



Yeah, right.  I read that statement too.  While I'm sure they do as they
claim and keep the trail in a good place so really bad things don't happen,
that doesn't mean it will handle as well as stock.  How many chopped bikes
do you see on a race track?  Or even stock Viragos for that matter?
Especially on the slow end of things; I'd like to see a sharp U-turn after
it's done.  I just think their marketing guys may have slightly overstated
their boast.
