What an excellent bike. Underpowered for some tastes but 85hp allows you to hold your own on the M25 and A1. Actually, more than hold your own, as nothing passed me on a run from Brighton to Lincoln. It has a road presence that isn't bullied and the addition of the screen allows er... swift progress.
I was initially nervous about filtering with the panniers, not having a good grasp of how wide I was, but bit the bullet and went for it on the A1 at Blyth (horrendous roadwork jam). That was very enjoyable, having fun at 15 mph. White van mirrors seem the same height as my mirrors, which makes for some hairy moments.
I've got the screen on the highest setting but a bit of a play may be needed, opinions differ on its effectiveness. Stock rear suspension seems way to soft, so have dialled in the settings for load and passenger, which seems fine to me.
I may be in danger of developing an emotional attachment.
