It has a smoothly responsive engine and handling, the bike is powerful yet controllable. It turns heads with its looks and burbling, muscular sound. It's a great combination bike for track riding or touring/commuting. The seat is pretty unsupportive, and the steering lock is very limited. A few seals had to be replaced by the dealer and they had problems with the regulator/rectifiers that are now solved. In the final analysis this bike has instant classic written all over it.

First off, let me say this bike is not for someone who does not want speed. It's super fast on the road, super light, super smooth and the power is addicting. The symphony of pistons is incredible.

First off, let me say this bike is not for someone who does not want speed. It's super fast on the road, super light, super smooth and the power is addicting. The symphony of pistons is incredible. The only gripes I have are with the steering stops and speedometer. It is very hard to maneuver around in the garage and the speedometer is hidden behind the cables while you are seated. Now for the shocker. I just traded it in on a 2010 Bonneville. It was just too fast for my self control.

This is one fun machine! The engine gives fantastic performance over the entire rev range and the sound is pure road music. That coupled with the bike's light weight makes for a very spirited ride to say the least. I really like how the clutch engages as soon as you begin to release the lever and shifting is as smooth as you could ask. It is extremely responsive and handles curves like it's on rails. It is lighter and has a lower center of gravity than my FZ6 which makes it very easy to handle for someone my size. The seat wasn't bad but it seemed to pitch me a little more forward than I liked so I had it modified. It doesn't have as much lock to lock steering degrees as some bikes but the short wheel base compensates. About the only other negative is that the buttons that control the computer are a little tough to access.
