Dissappointed
Steady2 you are so right.
I test rode one and was so disappointed. Sounds like a tractor, loads of white finger vibrations and really snatchy at low speed.
Does look good, have good economy etc
No way would I buy one. But tehose who like twins will beg to disagree I expect

you did say it's your oppinion, and that fair, but you need to consider diferent people's build. I love street tripple, and it would be my choice, but my legs are too long for comfort which pushes me towards alternatives.
Also, one of my colleagues has remus can on his 800 and it does sound very very good with plenty parallel twin character.

I know it may be just my oppinion, but personaly I think that someone would have to be mad or haven NO imagaination what so ever to choose one of these over a street triple. Sounds very bland also
