My cheetah is a blast. Recovery is awesome and controllable when you need to chop the throttle on a hill. The smooth transition into the power and is a huge plus for me as I have some issues with my hands. You can bring your hate sticks all you want. I didn't build it to impress anyone or because I wanted a pat on the back. It suits my riding style just fine.
And yes, Brandon at Wildcard can port a mean cheetah.
