All I know is reverse on a MC takes a LOT of getting used to, especially when you are used to ~ 400lb bike and that cow is well over 800!

I'd be nervous with reverse.. how fast does it go anyway? Is it the same speed as backing it up by foot? That wouldn't be so bad..

It took me a few minutes to get used to the new look, but I like it overall.

Again for the hater before you call the GL1800 a cow put your ass on one for the day. They will AMAZE you with how well then handle and how light they feel. Among the bikes we own are 2 GL1800's They handle better than anything else in there weight class, and far better than may machines 250-300 pounds lighter. Should any of you want to test this and you find yourself in Souther West NH stop by I will let you take one for the day
As far as reverse goes, it is a simple re-tasking of the Starter Motor so reverse is never faster than a slow walk.
