I bought this bike nearly 2 years ago and although I have only ridden it for a total of 5 hours, I have loved every minute. It handles great, feels very light and flickable and has plenty of power. The mid-range power is very usable and the top-end power is very strong with lots of over-rev. You never hit the wall in terms of power output, and this is in stock form. The suspension from stock was a little stiff on the front end, so I had my local dealer drop in some softer springs and it now feels fine. The rear shock is very plush too. Overall, the bike feels very balanced and is very well built. If asked to describe the bike in one word the word that I would use to describe it is "refined.Everything about it screams refined. Just riding it tells you how much R&D has gone into the range over the years.
