Brought home last Saturday about 25 miles from dealer. Rode very smooth. I'm coming from cruisers for many years and decided since I'm now living in the city wanted something lighter and more agile. Rode again about 70 miles on Sunday and I'm very impressed with the power of the detuned R6 engine and just how SMOOTH it feels. The fit and finish seems really good, though I raised the seat to the high position and there's some play in the seat when not on it there wasn't in the low position. It took no time at all to get used to the peg position. The shifting is crisp and accurate, haven't found a "false" nuetral yet. The ergos are very good, the seat seems maybe TOO firm but maybe in time will soften up some. I put on some soft bags and will probably get a small tank bag for easy reach items. I know it doesn't have the top end of the FZ6 or true "sport" bikes but It seems to have plenty for my use which will be mostly commuting about 20miles each way, weekend riding and 3 or 4 overnight to long weekend trips from Rhode Island to Pittsburgh, Pa . Will post another short review after more time on it. Here's couple pics from Oakland beach (Warwick, RI, not Cali lol)on a bit chilly Sunday afternoon.
