    I bet your hands go numb after an hour of riding from all the vibrating.

    A little vibration doesn't hurt. Besides, counterbalancers only rob an engines horsepower anyway and I've never ridden a Tecate that was decent that vibrated so bad that it was hard to ride. It boggles me when the vibration issue is brought up.



    Besides, the Tecates are superior machines so the other guys have to find a reason to nitpick. Tecates aren't as reliable. They vibrate etc. etc. etc. haha

    People talk about the vibrating to much, its not as bad as most say, atleast to me. Whats a little vibrating gonna matter if your actually riding? I dont think they do 85mph stock either.
