Been looking at these on youtube. Has gone to the top of my wanted list. V4s would be my choice, with cast wheels and road tyres.

Lots of selling points in that it is a step forward from the current V twin engine bikes with power performance and especially the servicing costs reduced a lot. Down sides for some are the larger diameter front wheel which will reduce the sportier tyre availability but supposedly increase the off road options.

The radar is an interesting development but as i dont like cruise control anyway i doubt i would even notice the forward facing one at all, however the rear facing kit that lights blind spot warnings on the mirror tops seems to have an actual real life benefit.

Would i shell out 21 large for a new one, nope. I like the early generation one i have enough not to even change up to a 2015 DVT or 2018/19 1260 version.

Review below from my fave immature you tube channel ;)

That's what I paid for the Suzuki and the Husky together. IMHO, a better way of doing it, rather than a compromise bike.

Sounds like a great bike, I watched the 44 teeth and bennetts reviews. Si Hargreaves was particularly taken with it. But she's not a looker and 21 grand is a chunk of change.

It looks too much like a Honda Crossrunner IMO for £21K.
