Done about 30 miles. Better in every way. Wouldn’t swap back if you paid me.
Better than the 1290?
Good god yeah, miles better. I’ve never felt at home on a bike so quickly while still having so much fun.
There’s some snatch in the throttle I guess but better than nearly every other Fi bike I’ve ridden. The engine is epic. It loves to be wrung out and revved. The front feels light under acceleration but not flappy (wheely control on I assume) and so planted under braking and turn in. The whole chassis was just rock solid and I was no where near what it could do but still overtaking other bikes.
It’s the first day and I like all bikes on the first day. But normally i come home with a list of improvements I’m going to make but aside from finding a baffle I can’t think of a thing I’d change.
Oh man… the engine noise and quick shifter. You giggle till your tits fall off.
Very happy.
