yay another 550, it looks so stock it must have been well cared for, my bike barely looks like a hawk anymore, it is odd that us 550 riders are popping up more and more, our bikes were only a one year run in the US, I think you guys got them a little longer. Either way, I hope you like the bike. Do you like the bars? It seems the general consensus is that the 550 bars are too uncomfortable

they are just too narrow and turned in. I feel like they would be fine if they were wider or turned out more like standard bars.
