Our local dealer brought one to the last trackday and put a few laps on it.

It looks like a fun "ride all day" bike.

Kind of funky lookin' but I bet it's a blast to ride.

I don't think it will do any better than the old one. It's too uncomfortable (more like a sportbike) and not a BMW to compete with the GS. Plus it's a chain drive, so the shaft people won't want it. It's performance as a dual sport adventure bike is nowhere near the KTM, so performance minded people will rather go KTM.

1200cc, it pretty much races the buell and the HP2. The guy who won it has won it with the HP2.

The standings that I have found on it only shows that 4 people raced in the 1200cc class. Two Ducatis and two buells.
