Heck of a first bike. Next bike will have big shoes to fill. Ride safe!

Wedged one of those between a utility pole and a garage once. Fun bike.

What's the ride like?

[–] notamechanic321@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Power throughout the whole rev range, quite happy to sit at low revs and cruise, but high rev range it comes alive.

Position is a comfy forward but not forcing you on top of the tank, but you can easily tuck in when you're giving it some beans.

Yeah I'm a big fan

Gosh dang it I want one now.

That's what I want in a motorcycle: Comfortable ergonomics, able to cruise at low rpms and high mpgs, but able to be revved high where you're flooded with power for crazy acceleration and track days.
