I'm not a fan of I-4 engines but I like this one. Its power delivery is similar to a V-twin, especially with the engine braking, although the fuel mapping is total crap. Very herky jerky unless it's wide open throttle. I need a slipper clutch too. Downshifted in 2nd in a hot corner and that mother hopped on me. Almost shitted in my pants.

The engine sounds sweet. It sounds like a Ferrari engine, no shit. Very unlike a typical I-4 engine. The exhaust is stock so there ain't much going on there.

Very small bike (but hefty in weight). There is no room for me to move back and forth in the seat at all and I'm very close to the handlebar. Almost moped like.
