I got to ride a leftover 09, since the guy got such a good deal that he couldn't wait to get his endorsement.
It was all low speed stuff, since the Honda dealer is right off base, but I was amazed at how well handling it was in the parking lot.
I didn't get to peg scraping levels, but I was apparently pretty close, by the look on the owners face.
The saddest part was his wife had a terrible scare when riding on the back, so he sold it and hasn't ridden a bike since.
