I hope I can take a new one out soon and compare the two on comfort and how hot the motor is.
Marco, try one out if you get the chance. The handling is excellent considering the rake, nice and light steering, in the turns it's very neutral. No fighting to keep it from falling in or leaning back out of the turn. I was seriously impressed with the bike and it looks good as hell to boot  The new 1900cc motor is incredible. Max torque is at 2500 rpm and that makes it responsive in any gear at nearly any speed. I slowed to down to 40 in 5th gear and hit the gas and it just took off. I'd have one in the garage too if I could. |
Wanted to demo one this summer at a bike show...but demo's were done for the day when I got there. Maybe next year.
