Nice bike and many happy miles however, I do have a couple of questions. Why zero miles? The dealer is suppose to run it for a couple of miles after building it as a shakedown. Perhaps this shot was taken before he set it up Also. why isn't your fuel light lit?

I got to admit the SE really looks cool with their color scheme. Black pipes and bars are a real nice touch.

Nahh... Most dealerships don't even bother riding them, which I'd rather they not. Usually it's some young kid ripping on it.

I used to build 'em and sell 'em... The biggest thing that requires assembled is usually putting the front wheel on, then it's just little stuff. They'll usually ride them from around back to the front of the store just to get it up there, and that's about it.

Very nice looking. Copper and black seem to be the new popular color.
And it does look very good. Nice choice.

Mine was in the crate when I decided to buy it, I had them put it together while my local credit union did my financing, I bought new grips at the dealership and they drove it around back to install them, then I drove 30 miles home.

Zero miles, out of the crate and set up, thats it, the pic was sitting in my driveway after we trailered it home (no insurance yet), The tank had about 30 miles or so of gas in before the light came on. I took it out today for my first ride 105 mi. pics in a new thread
