Ive had the bike for a week now. Due to weather there are only 300 miles on it. But I have to say this is one mean ride.
Fit and finnish
The black and yellow look great. for the amount of diffrent parts that are snapped together it looks really well. I love evrything except the exhaust. That is just one big ugly can. I do like the shape of it thow. Its just to large.
Disasembly
Taking the plastic off is a nightmare. There are 3 pieces of plastic that make up each side fairing. And evry thing is snaped together.
comfort
I went from an 03 600 with 23k on it and found that bike comfortable other than the tapored seat. It would try to rip my butt in half. With the 1K thow. The seat is flat and still verry soft compared to the competition. Reach to the bars is short and it has a fairly upright seating position. A lot better ergos than my 600 ever thaught about. Wind protection is the only real complaint with comfort. I have more than an r1 but I lost a lot from what I was used to. I have a Puig DB ordered.
Trunk
I now dont have much more space than an 04 r1. And it isnt held in for nothing. I had to remove the tools to even be able to keep my safety glasses in with any room. That is a fair chainge from the trunk on my 600 gixxer.
Power
I figured it would feal more powerfull than it does but it is smooth. When the throttle is bumped it will get light in the front. And it will raise up with a roll on. But Im not a wheelie man. Im just trying to learn every thing i can so I know what the bike will do under certain instances. You must have a verry smoth hand. I thaught the 6 was touchy. I had no idea. It isnt bad. But you just have to think about what you are doing.
Handeling. Its handling is unbelievably newtral. If you put it in a lean it will stay there untill told otherwise. Much better feel than the 6.
To conclude. this is one great bike! I love it. You just have to keep a clear head.
I dont have anny whare to load picks so if people want them someone else will have to host them.
