  • A piece of perfection?
    By  (I am an Owner) on Sep 20, 2009

    I went from GS 500 to this. The first time I rode it ( with trepidation) I started laughing. The next test ride I bought it.

    Until you hit 140+ KPH the screen doesnt matter. The seat moulds to your butt quickly . I am 5 ft 8 1/2 tall with NO problems reaching the ground securely.

    ...

    Cornering is sublime. Chicken strips easily erased. Economy 20km/litre just below 400km to the tank. Riding with some gusto.

    Long distance easy ,easily 6/24 on bike without fatigue.

    Off the lights..fear no car and most bikes. The torque is a little playful for the weight.

    Get traction control and suspension ESA if you like 2 up.

    Tyre pressure sensing has save my bacon already

    I've now done 15,000 @,000 per month.

    Worth every cent.

    Just take your checkbook to the testride (gulp)

    This thing handles like it knows your thoughts. It becomes a part of you in a short time. No pushing or fighting for absolute control. I have owned this a couple months a put 2000 miles on twisty mountain roads that wrap around Colorado. I love the torque and and quick throttle response at all ...
