Still kicking.
For a bike at 2 grand for msrp I'd be looking for a bike that has better brakes than juicy 3's.

Come on, you guys. You are foolish to lend credence here to MSRP, especially on something that is primarily sold online!
Here's an example (extreme) of grossly overstated MSRP:
https://www.ptswoofers.com/towers.htm
These are loudspeaker systems that appear to be high end, but in fact are cheap Chinese junk. Sold for whatever ($100, $200, $300), with box printed with MSRP $2400 or whatever (in fact the website above is a ruse to fool purchasers). They come with many different brand names. You can Google 'White Van Speaker Scam' and learn more.
Just a fun example. But my point is that MSRP does not always mean anything.

"f its comfortable, where did you get a chance to ride it? Dealer or friend?"
I went to their factory here in Utah.....they let me test and test.....they also said they will have models at some Costco stores and can already be purchased online at Costco's website.....and eas up guys....it's less than 1300 for the whole thing. It's Cheaper than most dealers with the same parts.
