A pleasurable mile muncher,quiet,quick,precise handling awesome brakes i love mine,bought new in march,second one and im on 6k now,so i have done around 20 k on type.I fitted a kawasaki gel seat but prefer the standard one,i,m a tad short on the inside leg so welcomed the lower seat but dont by a gel seat for comfort as the the stock one is more comfy.What would i change? rear foot pegs not comfy for pillion,mich pilot road 2 tyres make the bike handle much better and thats about it,i dont know where this bike tops out but i have been past 160mph a couple of times and ran out of road before finding the end of the power range and thats 2 up with 30 k of luggage oohh those german autobands,now i,m into pushing the bike i can cause the super bike boys to really sweat in the bends and along the windy A and B roads,theyre not liking it,hehe,i,ve ridden everything in its class and for sure its the best of the best outthere.,my rating 4.5 out of 5
