have riden 3000ks now still very smooth ride for long trips but not exactly nimble for the city 1 shortcomimg i have found is that the muffler is very low to the ground and on 3 occasions i have had my foot caught under it and getting crushed when doing a slow foot dabing right turn and riding up up a pramb ramp at a shoping centre or finishing up too close to a right hand turn curb ,my ancle now constantly reminds me of this issue i have a medium size screene on it and it tends to direct air upwards to the face lifting the visor so i had to change to a fullface helmet which still lifts the visor a bit ,i have found that by putting feet on rear pegs ,the wind is nowhere near as bad so perhaps deflectors can be fitted to crash bars to aleviate this.special attention needs to be placed on entering corners at a low enough speed to get arround as it is a difficult bike to force down to tighten the turn once established .brakes are excellent ,a centre stand would be nice to check oil ,which takes 2 people as standard .i think the top speed is only about 185k with a screene ,there dosent seem much left after that. all in all a very comfortably bike for long country rides
