Had this bike just over a week, had one trip so far of about 100 miles.
Now I am nearer 60 than 50 this bike makes sense to me. It is not a cruiser and it's not a scooter in fact there is no category for it as such, some people say they are confused by it. What does it matter? To me you either like it or you don't and if you don't you look elsewhere for what floats your boat. I thought it was worth a punt as I like the technology, style and exclusivity. I bought it to impress myself not others. It is so easy to ride that I got time to see and enjoy the scenery. I arrived home after a hundred miles feeling as fresh as I did setting out, and so relaxed.
All right so it won't keep up with a Blade or even a CBF 600 but there again that's missing the point a bit.
The motor is bombproof the transmission is so smooth in any of the three modes it is a revelation and it's fast enough for me and sensible overtaking is not a problem.
The styling is different, the screen has no purpose other than style and to keep the instruments dry in poor weather and I like it that way. I have good kit for weather protection and in the Summer will be glad of some wind in my face hopefully.
Being 6'3" I find knee room at a premium but manage by being able to alter my position slightly to suit.
The suspension is well damped without being harsh and handling is accurate and confident.
It can be fitted with luggage if you want to tour with it and has a fair amount of after market parts available for a bike produced in small numbers.
It's early days yet but so far I'm very pleased with my purchase.
