Not a bad looking bike, and pretty good video.

The Raider is nice, but it's air-cooled. It's built to wider tolerances, and is not as efficient or as green (and that's becoming a more and more important factor) as a liquid-cooled engine. All things being equal, a liquid-cooled engine will far outlast an air-cooled engine. If you keep it on the open highway, an air-cooled engine isn't too bad, but for around-town or heavy traffic an air-cooled engine is at a significant disadvantage.
Jeff, just keep your VTX. I'm not going to buy a Fury OR a Raider .
