My experience with this bike has been great. This bike is a supernaked. Which is to say a full performance version with less fairing. Things to note: handlebars, no clip ons! The riding position is excellent. You can ride this bike for hours without getting cramped. What the magazines and videos call the rider triangle is even good for 6 footers. All that said you better be comfortable and ready to rock because when you open this bike up the performance is amazing. The quick shifter works up and down and that's good because if you use full throttle in first you will have trouble getting your foot up to catch second before redline! This bike has the full complement of electronic aids, (even cruise control). I use the wheelie control because it will lift the wheel up so easily I don't want to worry about it in normal riding. The acceleration is HANG ON! The handling is fantastic. Ohlins dampers all around with every adjustment, They are manual adjust, but if you under stand setting up once you get it, you probably won't change it . The bike is so good every time I think I have too much entry speed the machine just laughs at me as if to say, "I could have gone a lot faster than that". The cornering is confidence inspiring. It just works and any time and at any lean angle. I have never been in a situation that I felt that this bike couldn't handle. Another plus is even if you stay stock exhaust (ie LEGAL) it sounds great! I am glad that I bought it.
