Lots of presence. Agreed, out Harleys' Harleys, better sound, better handling, better value. VERY hard ride even on softest setting. Now trying to find modification to preserve my cocyx. A major 'handful' and buys 'into the freedom poser dream'at very realistic price with quality engineering. A 'Wow' bike, where an hour at a time is plenty.
I'd be interested to hear other owners' views and happy to chat. Norfolk based.

Right where to start, bought new 4 weeks ago £10,300 plus heated grips thrown in with the deal, colour Red/Black...
Now at 900 miles.
BAD BITS
Handling poor at low speed
Gear box very agricultral
Fuel injection system poor
5th gear ratio is too high ~(need to have 50mph on speedo before putting it in 5th)
Only happy with super unleaded 97 octane
Brakes - only average
Rear tyre - looks good at 240mm width, but only adds to handling woes.
Oil level checking procedure a right pain.
Bike only happy at 70mph plus.
Needs another 20 bhp as standard.

GOOD BITS
Lot of bike for the money - out harleys a harley
Lots of standard kit, panniers,rack, passenger back rest, crash bars, touring screen
Big big bike = lots of road presence.
Shifts if rev'd
48 mpg
Shaft drive
Comfortable
55 mph in first gear
Estimated 135 mph top speed
Average 48 mpg
