Pillion said no after couple of miles,sports/tourer with sports bike perch?
silky smooth vibe free engine but,think gen 1 busa type handling,you really have to muscle it through the twisties,my Xr would have kissed bye to it long ago on b roads.
It has a quick shifter and auto blipper {same as my Xr} but i had to use the clutch (its that bad!!!!}
Brakes excellent,and the biggest positive is im flat footed on the bike with only a 28inch inside leg.
So p xing my Xr i would still have to cough up 12k for in my opinion a lesser bike.
I had my heart set on a Superduke gt but i was on tip toe sat on the bike and SP were not bothered discussing lowering options with me,so wont be back.
Conclusion,i will paying the settlement figure left on my Xr come the end of the month and splashing out on some tasteful extras :)):
