Posted: Sun Mar 12, 2017 7:26 pm
Well still can't get me head around the fact ive bought one but it was an itch that needed scratching.
Rode it most of yesterday and half of today so around 200 miles and first impressions are preety damn awesome.
Pros....
Feck its quick hmy: (not as much as an arm ripping fast but the power just seems endless)
Ergo's fit me quite well all tho screen could do with being a couple of inches taller ( Rade Screen will be in order soon)
Like the little thought out details, glovebox,aux switched cable,lower ron fuel cable etc
The noise from the titanium remus 2-1 :woohoo: :woohoo:
Feels lighter than me f800gs
Hydraulic Clutch feels bliss
Brakes are oustanding
Cons...
I was gunna say fuel consumption but i filled up yesterday and i havent hit reserve yet so i will hold judgement on that and i've been making progress shall i say in certain areas.
Stock Handguards seem a bit flimsy
Doesnt feel quite as refind as the gs but i a way i think thats why i like it so not sure if its a con.....
I love the gs and it won't be going anywhere it will be used for tarmac only roadtrips it's the turn of the 990 to get dirty.Knobblies are on the way from openeo B)
