Yea its still carbed. Its already got screaming eagle II exhaust on it. My buddie rode it the other day, and he said it was a hell of alot more powerful than his sock 1200.
And jo i aint afriad of the weather, the last time i was on a bike was 9 years years ago and that was on an old CBR 600, this bike ride a helluva lot different than that. Need to get used to it first.
